Finished this last night and it had its first outing this morning. Its a 1992 Cannondale m800 Beast of the east, 15". With suntour xc comp groupset xt parralel v brakes, marin bars, and some purpleness. Well impressed with the tyres they are NOS folding IRC Mythos which i got brand new for £13 delivered for the pair. The missus looked at it, and came out with something that I will remember fondly "your in for a right anal mauling, i'll put sudocrem on the list shall i?" I was expecting the ride aftermath to unpleasantly Barrymorish, but it rides surprisingly well, I did 20 miles and apart from a slightly numb thumb i can still walk and everything. The gearing although original works like a dream, wheels are silent and fantastic (parrelax hubs, mavic sup rims), and it fits me perfectly. It weighs 22lbs The full build including a ti seatpost on its way to me, set me back £205.. I am pretty chuffed Come on then out with the anti-retroism, im retrosexual and proud of it!
