I did. I found a 1990 Cannondale ST400 frameset in excellent shape. It came with modern XT front and LX rear derailleurs, DiaCompe XCT cantis, a Sugino AC crank set, and the original Cannondale rack. I built the rest up with parts I had here: 27" alloy Araya rims, Suntour bar-cons, Shimano 600 aero levers (and some other stuff not worth mention). She rides like a tank on glass, solid but so smooth.

My first decent bike was a Cannondale M300. I rode it from when I was 14 until it was stolen my senior year of college (not growing much has its advantages), so this bike fills two voids for me.
