Cannondale SM1000 from 1991 in jetfighter-silver

Ah, this thread brings back some memories. Had the same bike, same size and same Onza sticker too

I sold mine 15 year ago and now regret doing it. I wonder where my bike will be right now…
Nice project you have there. I agree with you on the parts. Suntour XC Comp did not work for me and switched to Shimano as soon as I had the chance.

Unbelievable...

You wont believe it - but I was the original owner of that bike ! I miss it and in some free time did a quick google images search! The Onza & Oakley stickers, and scuff on the left chainstay were the giveaways.
I sold the bike when I was studying veterinary medicine at Bristol University - back in around 1994/5.
The bike was originally purchased from Evan's cycles in Woking, Surrey - around 1990.
I'm now based in Hong Kong. Such a small world.....
Please do not sell it without emailing me !!! I will try to find some old photos.

Best, Marc

Hi Marc!

Thank's for that very interesting information. It's funny to hear what ways has the frame behind.

But I've to disappoint you, I'll never sell that cannondale. As I told that before I've owned exactly the same bike 1991. I can reassure you, however, I love that bike and it's my favourite in my bike-collection.

Now it's looking like this:

I'm liking that (risers and bar-ends too

). There's just something so purposeful, yet beautifully minimal, about early Cannondale(s) - I'm gonna get me one someday

Judging by the post code in picture #3 it never went far after you sold then... all the way Wrington !
whats that about 10 miles south of the city down the A370
(Or 15 miles if you include a quick stop off / detour around Ashton Court)

Good job (except the riser bar

)
I love these Cannondale. This year, you could choose 2 paint job : black/blue pearl (like mine) and the jet fighter grey (like the SE1000) This grey is very elegant !

Some picture of the crank side ?
