Thanks for the replies, I painted mine after a few years of racing, maybe 2 or 3 years, and I painted it red with yellow decals, the same as the oficial volvo-cannondale that year, but I think they kept those colours for a few years. I think it might be 1991/92/93 but as I can´t find it in the...

I´ve got a Cannondale frame somewhere (not here with me at the moment) and I haven´t seen any other one like it. It´s a M600 Beast of the East with 1.5" full aluminium Pepperoni forks, Force 40 brake system. The original paint was blue, white and red (front, middle and back). It´s got the "long"...

From what I remember the first Proflex with coil shock (not elastomers) were 1997, I guess yours is 1996.

You can see these bulls all over Spain, it used to be a publicity for Osborne (sherry) from Jerez and now they stay as an icon (is that the correct word??) in Spain.

Beautiful bike, it must be really special to rebuy one your old bikes and built just like you would have liked to as a kid. Well done, I love the pic with the sunset. Felicidades.

Is that a Felt? It sure looks cool. :wink:

Exactly, you´re riding your bike an all you see are those big rocks you would love to climb with a trials bike. I envy those singletracks in the woods that you´ve got in UK :wink: , from the pics and movies I´ve seen you guys seem to flow on the surface while down here we only find rocky...

:lol: :lol: Sounds just like home. I suppose most of the Mediterranean coast is pretty much the same when you´re riding your bike, you know, sun and a nice cool beer after. :D

Ameybrook´s Kona is the bike that help me discover retrobike.co.uk , first day I saw it and since then I´ve been serching for pictures of my dream bike: Merlin Newsboy :wink: .

Pepperoni´s definitely, it will make it a better ride and it just looks better. 8) Saludos

The best saddle I´ve used was an Avocet O2 that I bought only because everyone else had the Flite and I wanted some diferent but also lightweight. I haven´t seen another one in years so I don´t even know if they´re still available. I must admit that "THE SADDLE" must be a Flite, there is a...

Mongoose built an Iboc Pro with an triangular top tube, it wasn´t just a paint job.

I´ve got a 20" frame hanging around somewhere, and this one looks like the same size to me.

Nice afternoon ride last summer, I like this pic cause it makes me look like a better rider than I really am :wink: .

My name's Leon and at the time I lived in an "atico". Quite simple 8) .
