I just auctioned this incredible frame on eBay. Probably m500 or M900 from 1996. I do not know what to do with the crazy golden color. In this form, I would not push the bike either among the horses to the carousel...
DV 900 was originally an LX bike, 3rd in the MTB line in '92 behind the full suspension DV 2000 (XT) and 1000 (XC Comp). I built the frame with a mix of SunTour XC components. It's 8 speed with XC Pro rear and Ringle front hubs with Mavic 230 rims.
2002 f3000sl frame and fork.
1998 World Cup paint job for Cadel Evans
This bike is a tribute to Cannondale of old and really polarises what made Cannondale so desirable back in the day.
