Retro Cannondale MTBs are like buses today it seems...
What size is it?
Ah! Knew I'd forgotten something.
Size is 'Large' in Cannondale parlance. As shown it's set up for me and I'm 5ft 11in, so I guess it will suit riders from about 5ft 9in to 6ft 2in.
Seat tube is 16.5in c-c or 18in c-t. Top tube is 22in.

For Sale: Retro Cannondale MTB-based hybrid. £325
Posted by
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.
