Cannondale M800 MTB-based hybrid bike.
Built this up recently using a restored 1992/3 Cannondale M800 Beast of the East frame. It was professionally refinished by Bob Jackson in a delicious pearlescent white.
The frame is heat-treated double butted aluminium (cost a fortune back in the day) and weighs about 3lbs. It was designed as a serious mountain bike with a very high bottom bracket to clear technical trails - or high kerbs! It's in super-clean condition and is equipped with a number of NOS parts. It weighs just 22lb all-up and is pretty much bomb-proof with its tough frame and 36-spoke 26in wheels.
Use it as it is or it could easily be converted back for trail use.
A fast and tough bike in super-clean condition.
The bad bits: Rims are showing signs of wear and there's some chipped paint under the chainstay protector. And that's it.
Specification:
M800 3.0 Competition Series frame fitted with GT cromo forks and FSA headset.
Shimano LX hubs with FIR rims and stainless spokes 36/36.
Selle Italia saddle on satin silver Kore seatpost.
Bontrager bars and stem in satin silver.
Shimano Exage rear mech with 8-speed cassette.
Unknown alloy chainset with new Shimano 42t ring.
Suntour SE rear cantilevers (nos) and Tektro front V-brakes.
Avid abjustable brake levers (nos).
Gripshift gear control.
Continental Sport Contact tyres.
Looking for £325.
Bike is in South Oxfordshire but I may be able to deliver to London area. Could also supply some knobbly tyres (for the snow...) instead of the semi-slicks.
