Posted this already in the retro mountain bikes thread but I can always cross post!
Cannondale 1993 M500 framset picked up for 45 quid postage, so managed to get some Deore LX bits, as well as an XTR rear mech to go 3x9. Deore LX/Mavic wheels with Maxxis 2.2 Holy Rollers.
I've got an order in for a new headset, quill adaptor (...not sure how that's going to look) and some cruiser bars. Eventually would like to see if I can squeeze some 65mm guards of the top.
I've got a donor bike that I'm stripping a crankset off, just need to get the Octalink BB out first - the dark blue/ grey cranks should go nicely I think.

But first, just get it riding!
