Love the look of this, great quality frames too - I like the forks too, especially as so many folks are adding shocks to modern gravel bikes these days anyways!!

Missed a letter 'L' in the title.

Good Morning from Germany, I built up the CAD 1 (look at my profile photo) 3 years ago. It`s very interesting, that the old STX parts are compatibel with the shifters from actuall shimano claris. I think, your frame is in a better condition ( my has some damages because of moisture), but I hope, I can ride my CAD 1 some more years. I like the peach colour in Original. Your project with mono and Hollowtech bottom bracket is also nice and obviously we had the same idea with the contis double fighter😄 Have much fun with yout bike! Lars from northern germany.

You were lucky not to deal with some cannondale proprietary parts like the BB.

Awesome looking bike build. I don’t get the whole conversion thing though. I’m just gonna change out the tires on one of my MTB to some faster road/off road tires and call it a gravel bike. I don't like drop bars and I don’t want to do without my 3x7 drive train. I like my gear options just in case I need something more or less.

The background music is so annoying, but excellent video. Thank you.

you don't really need to zoom into the item so closely, it is losing focus by doing so.

Looks very nice👍👍👍

Finished product is incredible, nice work!

Another great mountain bike ruined

what size cassette are you using?

Cool build❤

This is a really nice rebuild. I like the shallow drop handlebar. I think a future upgrade would be a rigid fork. Save a lot of weight. Your comment about the colour of the Continental matching the frame made me smile as that's exactly the attention to detail I'd go for. Brilliant bike

Nice build. How capable is the bike? Enduro enough for the Alps for example?

That looks absolutely fantastic. Great work!

Very, very nice. Currently restomodding a 97 Mongoose. Maybe I'll do a video as well. Might I suggest upgrading your seatpost to an external dropper? You can use the cable mounts/guides once used for the front derailleur .

Excellent commentary Moz, I always learn so much in your videos!

a longer travel spring can be worked to less travel , but if a guy bought a “shorter version “ can it be “(((stretched))))” made BIGGER ?

Those Bars are Sexy.. Ritchie?

Awesome bike build and parts,the Mavic Ksyrium wheels look excellent.Save riding.💯👌🏻✌🏻🚴‍♂️

I need some Billy Bonkers in my life!😊

Have that same bike, in a large frame. Traded a paintball gun for it back in 2000. The chainset is in need of replacing so figure I might as well do a complete teardown and rebuild while I'm at it. Now I'll just have to decide what components I want to go with.

Nice work. I had one of these, that unfortunately got stolen (Århus, Denmark). I still miss it, and will try to find one again.

love the green❤❤❤

Is this a lidl in south france?

Blue and yellow will do beautiful babies.

your rear wheel is out of true

Did that cassette fit on the standard driver? And was it 7 or 8 speed to begin with?

Handsome bike, but I'm trying to understand why speed would be important enough on an off-road / "gravel" bike to call for drop handle bars. Everyone who shows a conversion build on Utube goes to drop bars. I could see it on a road bike going down a mountain on pavement, but...?

Hope EC/44/40. 1.5 does come with bearing and crown race? For £45

The new Shimano ESSA 8sp rear derailleur RD-U2000 is now the top choice for inexpensive drop-bar old 10sp shifter 1x drive train. Total capacity: 34T. Max. low sprocket: 45T. Min. low sprocket: 45T. Shadow design.

Hay buddy thats a rare bit of kit, i wouldnt know the value i dont know much about black mountain but i do know that the a British company that hand built bikes to order, also looking at the components are you sure its not around the 96/97 mark?? Just a thought lol

Looking great in the sunset mate 👌

Beautifull bike, i love Cannondale!

When replacing the retaining ring run your thumb over the outer edges one side is sharper from when the ring was stamped out position the ring with the sharp side out for better retention.

That setup looks perfect!

Nice

Good Job! I was able to buy a "virtually" new BV SE last year. Still with original tyres from '95! But now with Race King ;) It's a first-class "Mini Gravel". It will always remain in the collection :) As a teenager I always wanted a Marin, but I couldn't afford it...

I love this build video. Links to parts used would help a lot. I would also appreciate a brief description of how you reproduced the decals. Great post. Thank you 👍🏼

I remember lusting over these bikes. I felt 30 years younger for a moment. Thanks! Great build.

The blue paint is = RAL 5005

Seat tube spring for adjustment combined with that quick release

One more upgrade.. that seat spring

Sweet. Purple seat collar would be the cherry on top.

if its blue or black . black looks good. i think orange will look good as wel .

I bought a polished Killer V 900 in 1994. Road it cross country and down the US west coast. Still have it. It was great in San Francisco traffic. Bought my second new bike a few weeks ago. A Bad Boy Cannondale. I'm shooting to ride to at least 90. 29 years to go FTW.

Superb!

Sweet bike! I've got a purple Super V 2000 w/ carbon arm that I'm restoring. FYI, you can get plastic razor blades for scraping decals that are way safer than that scary metal scraper. Great editing too.
