1994 Cannondale M600

Found the frame and fork cheap on ebay, my mate had one BITD that I used to borrow at every opportunity, but couldn't afford to buy when he sold it on!
Mostly built with stuff I had lying about apart from the crank, seat post and shifters. I've ridden it a few times now and it's a lovely little bike to ride, I think the plan is to eventually be Shimano free, just because I've never been down that route before.

Looking good! Love the colour of it.
Probably pretty light too I'm guessing?

Cheers jimo, yes it's a nice colour! Comes out at 23lbs dead, not bad really considering It was thrown together

Yeah, great looking bike ..

two tone cad....nice I own the same

I've just picked one of these up from ebay also.

Rare frames - 1994 only

They are the sloping top tube version of the M3.0 frame. Sort of a cross between the more conservative M2000 frame and the BOTE, but with a lower bottom bracket. The top tube is longer too.

Specialzed and Giant do stems that take shims to adjust the rise. Luckily they are 1 1/4inch without the rise.

I've been playing, changed the wheels and tyres, brakes and handlebars.

Nice, like the idea of avoiding Shimano parts. Particularly like the braking system with the coda dia compes. Mine came with a broken worn out headset which I found out, was a bugger to replace. Ended up putting loose balls instead of finding a a 1 1/4 sized cage/ball and luckily someone on ebay was selling 11/4 top caps for the aheadset for cheap.

Dead jealous, sell it to me pleeese
