Hey everyone, just finished a 1992 Cannondale SM800 "Beast of the East" commuter. I don't drive and ride year round so I dumped a good chunk of cash into this one but it's probably my favorite bike these days. Velocity Nobs rims, Deore XT hubs, crankset, front and rear derailleur(Merlin Cycles 2015 close outs), older XT cantilever brakes off ebay, PDW rack, and a Selle Anotomica seat(blemished yearly Christmas sale). The bike was bought new in 1992 and ridden until the components turned to dust. The frame sat in the garage for a decade before it's resurrection and rebirth. I'd sooner lose an arm then give it up. Silly fun to ride!

Absolutely loved browsing this thread and seeing what everyone has built up.
