1993 Cannondale M800 Beast of the East

[yeti_bomb]

Finally found a good condition BOTE. I road one of these from 1995-1998, been missing the Beast! This one has a lot of the original parts though I do not plan on keeping it OG. I want a Nuke Proof hub wheelset and some other fun things. But this will be a fun ride. Keeping in line with my deep love of fat aluminium tube trail bikes.

Thanks. My first real bike was a 1993 Trek 8000, then I traded for a C-Dale. Rode the hell out of including street trials. Had three cracks in it but they never caused me any trouble. Some of my best memories were on that bike. Had it the first year I lived in Santa Cruz.

I need a shorter stem, way long for me. Maybe a Atac with a bit of rise. Just missed one on ebay...

Re:

Nice! I love mine. I went for the all red and black look. Mine has an A-TAC stem now.

Re:

I have been looking at your Beast for awhile. I found it inspiring. Also liked that SE2000 you use have.

Playing around with some options. Stem just way too long. Also not sure I'm keeping it geared.

Finally starting to figure out a direction to go with in this build. Single speed with a Melvin tensioner. Mixture of Raceface cranks seat post and bar. Need to figure out if I'm keeping the fork or swapping for a Z2 or something. Maybe old Manitou. Also wheelset XT hubs Mavic 231. Badly need a shorter stem.

Couple of pics. Think I'm going as a seven speed. Xt rear with thumb shifter.

Looking nice.

Just recently parted with mine, had it set up SS and was a blast.

Enjoy!
