Undoubtedly the greatest Beast of the East I've ever seen, in the North, South, East or West!

Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I love this bike a lot, it's a lot fun.
I'm a massive vintage Cannondale fan, and I will be posting another half-dozen builds here in the near future.

I had a 1992 C'dale M700 (black with lime green flecks) and a late 90s C'dale M700 in polished aluminum. That was back when my body could actually take the abuse of stiff aluminum!

Nice, I remember that 1992 model. I really liked the paint scheme on those. Haha I hear you on the aluminum! I definitely try and stick to very tame trails on any of my rigid rides.
