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.
This bike has a long story…

It was all suntour equiped has catalog bike, but, upgraded when sold the first time with specialized BB and headset, the fork and the combo stem-bar are Grove innovation. The painting was \"splatted\" with yellow.
I did the \"Roc d'Azur\" with it and the race of the first \"Old-School World Mountain Bike Champion Ship\" in Schoorl Netherland in september 2009. Only fun with this bike !

I have owned that bike in 1992. After a lot of years and kilometers (it crossed the northern territory of Australia), the frame was resprayed with the 1990 decals, as the bike was shown to journalists in August 1990.
Only full shimano XT groupo with the original ritchey crank.
SM 1000 restored
The frame was bought alone and a resprayed in the original black and white flaming.
In the catalog, this bike was shimano deore DX equiped. It's shimano XT M730 upgraded.
