Showcase
The first Cannondale of a friend. Too small for him, he gave it to me. It was all original with suntour XC comp groupo, and the gripshift, but I made some upgrade for riding it : Ritchey crankset, Flite saddle, Suntour SE Pedersen brakes and mavic ceramic rims…
That color (black-pearl hyper highlight) his one of the most beautiful Cannondale paint job.
The first Cannondale I saw and rode in France, and the birth of a dream. It was in 1988.
In 2006, I met the owner of the bike I rode quite 20 years ago and… he sold it to me.
I could restore it with the original suntour XCD groupo. Only the wheels were upgraded with mavic hubs.
Just finished restoring my 1986 SM700. I bought all new NOS 80's Suntour XC components. Decals from Vintage Cannondale. Waterford Cycles (formerly Paramount Design Group a Schwinn Comapny) did the awesome paint work. The only modern parts are the Brave Machine rims, Moto Digger tires and Azonic DH bars with Brave Machine grips. I kept the old Brooks saddle on it that I had put on it back in '86. I just love these rigid 24/26 Cannondales. I've had many new mountain bikes and kept going back...
Born Jan 92 and came to our home to my wife in 25 Aug 92 which was in Germany at the time then Washington and now in Florida. She still looks hot, so does my wife. I have a 90 SM700 on this site.
