Even if it didn't have a headshok, it would be tricky with an early 90's Cannondale, cause most of them had 1 1/4" forks, not 1 1/8". I had a M2000 with the rigid Pepperoni fork, which was a great bike, but expensive to change the fork or stem since they are non-standard size.
BTW, that bike was a great bomb-proof commuter in factory spec. Light, tough wheels, XT drivetrain, Ritchey and Easton cockpit. It was probably in the realm of 25-26lbs with slick tires. I seriously doubt you are going to find ANY 90's MTB much lighter than that, rigid or suspension fork.
