After long time of searching for a M 600 in Patriot paintjob in the right size, finally this one came to me...
It was in a horrible state so I stripped it completely...
As the components were all in more than a bad shape I decided to get rid off the old parts and rebuild this one with a Deore DX Group after polishing the frameset...
The Headset had to be replaced, too, so I got a NOS Tioga oversize...
This one was really hard to find, mainly because it wasn´t named as a cannondale on eBay. Nearly by chance it was found by a nice guy at the classic ibc forum, who gave a hint...
Really ugly, or not?
So I bought it for little money and I was surprised, that it was in complete original state besides the color of the frameset...
So I stripped this one to it´s parts...
After removing the Headset Rests of the original color...
Here is another Restauration of an old C´Dale...
Bought in the US on eBay in a miserable state...
I stripped this one completely to rebuild it with a complete Shimano XT 730 Group. After a new paintjob the frameset looked like this...
Built up with the following parts:
- Suntour bottom bracket
- Sugino crankset
- Sakae pedals
- Sakae stem
- Tange...
Transmision 2x8 Heavy Duty , with Rear Hub Fixie...haha, I love it!
1992 M800, M1000, M2000 polished alumium, original decals and high specification, Shimano XT derailers, Shimano XT shifters, Peperoni forks, Shimano XT hubs, Diacomp brake levers.
Just picked up this Killer V 500, all stock components apart from an alien crankarm and pedal. Might lose the front derailleur and opt for 7 speed only. It will be an urban commuting bike with a few easy off road trips.
Found this through a local ad in 2011. I stripped it down cleaned everything and put it back together. This bike is 99% original apart from the Turbo saddle, it still has the original Tioga farmer john nephew tyre's and handlebar grips. The catalogue states red or black only but mine is Cosmic black with white web, a 1991 colour.

My old 1990 SM 500 MTB. Could not part from it. So I rebuilt it to a road bike. The first step was to get rid of the paint it used to be black. I used paint stripper and sand paper. That took some time. When the frame was clean I sprayded it with clear lacquer. The rest of the build was not very difficult accept for the fork I wanted an ahead set. Finaly found the right stuff. One inch is not so common. It rides great and travels with me to all kinds of regatta's where I use it to pedal...
