1989 Cannondale SM900 "Red Shred" **UPDATED**

[ez054098]

FINALLY! After years and years searching, I was able to acquire a 22" Red Shred! The story goes, in 1990, I found on in a bike shop in Livermore, CA. I think it was priced around $800. About $300 more that I had in my savings. a few months past until I got the $800 to purchase the bike. When I went to the shop, it had be sold the past weekend. I was crushed. That feeling never left me.

About four years ago I was doing a Google search for Red Shreds and came across one in TX. I emailed the guy to see if he would sell it to me. Sadly, he declined. I pinged him once ever year to see if he had changed his mind. Happily, I received an email last week telling me he was ready to sell. So, hopefully by this time next week I should have my Red Shred!

Wow :shock:
Thats a big frame!! I love these, my pal in highschool had an Sm1000 which looked very similar but in 18" , it had the graffitti graphics on the downtube

Looking forward to you getting some of your pictures up,
These frames climb hills like Billy Goats!!

Enjoy

BITD, one of my mates had one of these, identical size frame too, I reckon. He was not an inch taller than 5'9 and it fitted him a treat.

Was really nice to ride, from memory.

I never understood the geometry of the thing, but it certainly 'worked'

Didn't you have one of these already EZ, or do you have another?

I have a 1992 M800, which is similar. I also have a 16" (it has 24" wheels, front and back) for when my son is old enough to ride a mountain bike.

LOL! Not sure. This one will be a commuter bike though. Once I fix it up of course.

Nice looking Shred!

Yeah, those white handlebars. I think I will keep them...in a box. I would have changed them back in the day and I am going to change them now.
Everything else will be spec.
