My Cannondale Killer V 900

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I built this bike in 1995 when I lived in Hawaii. I originally started with a M600 Head shock bike. I rode it for a year and then I was hit by a car. With the money I got from the insurance company I built a new bike. I started out with a Cannondale Killer V 900 frame. I recently started riding again, my kids are old enough to get out and ride now. I think this bike is still just as good as any of the new bikes.

Here are the rest of the components from the build:

Sun Rims
Pulsar straight pull hubs
XT 7 speed cassette
King head set
Kooka cranks
XTR rear derailleur
XTR front derailleur
Manitou 3 fork
LX rapid fire shifters and levers
all Titanium hardware

the trails we ride havent changed,if it worked 20 years ago it still will do so just as well........so long as you havent spoiled yourself with a decade of disc brakes!!......
