Devout Dirtbag
from almost the lowest depths of the Cannondale range in 1988, this SM400 came to me in 2011 complete except for wheels.
Its had a hard life.
Spraybomb paint job and some very rough repairs made it an unlikely candidate for restoration, so its become a singlespeed beater instead. Not a lot spent and not built to be pretty, this one can wait for the right time to get its rat looks improved.
Still got its dia-compe (diabolical...) brakes and the original cranks, stem, bars and fork. Everything else was either in the parts box or traded for as little cash as possible!
No chain tensioner even with the almost vertical dropouts - a lucky break with chain length...
