E54s Quiver (Cervélo T1 completed)

[continues from previous page]

After fetching it in a hurry at night and looking at it the next day, I was not too sure whether this was a great idea to be frank:

Great story! Love this fork too !!

Many thanks!

Little progress (but at least some progress)

• Changed crankset to black LX and noted that the BB needs replacement, too
  
• Swapped saddle, seatpost, seatpost clamp to black
  
• Swapped to black grips and modern pedals
  
• Cleaned the remaining drivetrain a bit
  
  

Upcoming:

Mounting tyres
Replacing silver cantis with black LX
Find 1x chainring

Helllll yessss! Stridsland chainring? Assuming the cranks are 94 BCD?

@e54 you can get stridsland chainrings at gutenbiken 😉

@Eingang @vpCogworks

I fear the LX cranks are 110? At least they are larger than the CODAs i removed

Can be, the first 560 LX were indeed 110. That means plenty of options for cheap though. :)

Tiny progress while having an hour off from child maintenance:

• lx brakes mounte
  
• Tyres swapped
  
• Drivetrain cleaned
  
• Temporary 1x chainring mounted
  
  

To dos

• replace BB
  
• find black lx/coda wheelset
  
• Find LX shifter/brake unit (7/8x depending on wheelset)
  
• Install chain

Looking good. Budget option for 110 N/W rings here

Thanks mate

Not sure if there was also 104 back then?

Havent had time to measure precisely 🥵

Not sure if I ever owned such a fun bike 🤹🏻‍♂️

Chain didnt come off so for now i am ignoring the n/w chainring options

Sachs gripshift thingy has to be replaced by thumb shifter tho. Takes too much of that golden bar

Okeeeej

Found a nice wheelset (coming next week)

And switched for a boxier stem to make handling even more compact

Fun 🤡

Black wheels cleaned & mounted

I always find it surprising(ly annoying) that people do not clean their shit before selling/shipping it.

I would never do this, even if its a €10 item

But maybe I am way too oldschool 👨🏼‍🦳

Wow looks super clean! Love the ergostem

News on the M800* Beast of the East*

While I was of the opinion To have turned some kind of very small vintage cdale into a dirtbike, i did some research today.

I found out that this particular model was developed together with Martyn Ashton for technical runs (cannondale marketing language: “eats technical trails for lunch”) and trial action.

I think my particular model is from 1996

It features a higher BB, a slack seat tube for tricks, and they tried to make it as light and compact as possible.

Bottom line, I guess this is something like an early dirtbike

So after all, I feel a bit lucky to have scored this thing from around the corner 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Heres a new photo in its natural habitat and some google/catalog pics
