Purchased the frame recently and assembled it to play on. It will now be stripped again to enable powder-coating as the old paintwork is looking rather tired. I have located some decals on e-bay, but cannot find ones that state the model :-(
This is a 99.5 model year bike. Cannondale released this bike mid season, it was the first ever bike to feature a lefty. It is a tiny bit different from the 2000 year bike, mainly in that it never came with stickers on the top tube with a model name. I replaced the Coda brakes with hope minis, The pedals were DMR V12's, and the Bar was swapped out with an Azonic double wall. I had a Fizik Nissine cow hide saddle on there with ti rails for a few years, but it went bald so the original...
shimano 105 front & rear derailleurs and cranks.
rsx brakes and sti shifters (new old stock shifters and rear brake)

fizik bar tape
mavic cxp11 rims laced with dt swiss spokes to cannondale coda hubs(after market)

Frame and Pepperoni forks are 1993 M700, probably replaced after an accident. S/N & colour (black, fading to dark green) are correct for a '93 M700 but Shimano Deore LX gruppo is all 1990 spec except that front rim (now a Sun Chinook) and stem (Kalloy Dirt Research) were also replaced. Seat was missing when I got it but seat in picture is a Vetta, like the stock saddle was. Still has Odyssey Aerator seat post/tire pump. Had stock Shimano Deore LX pedals but now has Wellgo WPD-95B's, SPD...
My first C'dale, the lightest bike i ever own.
99% original, only seat and handlebars are new.
I thought you might like a photo of my 1986 SM700 for the website.
I've had a lot of fun looking at all these great bikes. My bike was yellow from new, but my brother resprayed it for me in the late 90's. He worked as a bike sprayer in the UK at the time. I kind of regret not keeping it yellow now, but pink was the colour from a year or so after mine and I thought it would put macho hoodlums off stealing it! It had been nicked once but returned thanks to an eagle eyed policeman. What are the...
This is my owned from new 1997 Super V 900 Free Ride, purchased 1st quarter 1998. This is a limited edition bike I'm unaware of it being sold outside of the UK maybe someone knows more. Rumor at the time of purchase was less than 20 were available It's rare! Will confuse many Dale heads as they try to place and date the kit (never appeared in a catalogue).
Frame and swing arm all original in factory paint. Pictures included to show decal's that help date it. Frame year is Sept 1997 with...
My first one, bought in 1988. 22" frame, fork and Cunninham RollerCam Brakes original, rest modified retrofitted, still going strong.
Been triyng to buy one since 2001, and found on ebay 6(!) years ago. Been ridden ever since. Day by day. she was a dream come true. This old one is the most beautiful frame I've ever seen. But every time I sit on it to ride, I am scared to death that those tiny little sticks on the rear will just brake in two. But not by this time! I've been thinking to buy a Taurine these days so I can put her on the wall, but to be honest I just don't like the new cannondales' design.
