Here are more pictures of the Cannondale (and lots of info but it won't be of much use unless you know how to read Japanese) ttp://www.geocities.jp/infinity_web_site/cannondale_killer_v.html
Pretty light too at 8.2 kg although I dread to think how much money this beast cost its owner. I think the red parts suit the bike rather well. The frame doesn't appear to be polished from the factory, in the link there's a silver painted one which I'm guessing is the same bike before the transformation.
I was so close to buying a Beast of the East a couple of months ago but the seller backed out because he suddenly felt my offer was too low. Which it was. But still.
The version with the dura-ace wheels is nicest imo. What I also realised is those forks totally change the geometry.
Definately an interesting post compared to all the italian and japanese iron that graces these pages.
