‘96 Cannondale F500 project
Resurrected from the dust... stripped, cleaned, rubbing compound, polished, original paint. New wheels, tires, brakes, levers, grips, shifter, cassette, chain, derailleur, cranks, bb, fully rebuilt MC50 HeadShock! Rides like an old friend telling new stories. Good times, good times.

I’ve had this one since about 2012. I always wanted to update it, but I couldn’t decide what to do. I may try a riser bar with a little sweep, just to see how it rides, but it’s pretty good right now. In fact, it’s becoming my favorite trail bike. It’s just so much fun to ride! (I might have to put some clipless pedals on it, though. It’s a XC ride, for sure, and I’m not much interested in dirt jumping any more.)
