Restoring and modernizing my childhood dream bike: The Cannondale Super V

Күн бұрын

When I was younger the cannonade Super V was my dream bike. In this episode I’ll be restoring an old Super V to more than it’s former glory, making it as good as new, but also as modern as I can make it. Raking it out a bit with an offset headset, putting a 27.5 wheel and longer shock in the front, adding disc brakes, and maybe even a dropper post. My goal is to make it look and ride as smoothly as I possibly can for a very special reason which I will reveal toward the end of the video. Until then, I hope you enjoy the build.

I am rebuilding my 1999 F1000 hard tail and luckily I have a disc brake ready bike and will only change out the front fork and keep my ChromaLusion Purpleen paint. I will upgrade my BB and Cranks and add 12 speed SRAM system and Magura Brakes. Your video is very detailed and got me missing my Super V even more. Love that detail on crossover from a Fatty to traditional fork. By the way in France they still rebuild the Fatty. Thanks for sharing your dream.

Light impact . For real. Your hands will be like mine at 45 hurting and cramping. But he’ll looks like this ain’t your first rodeo. Really nice job bringing life back to something that enlightened yours years back. Pretty dam cool.

Awesome work, Dude! I´ve modernized my old beloved ´05 Stevens F9 Race too, with a dropper post, longer fork, shorter stem, wider handlebars, angle headset, broader rims, offset bushings, and now it´s behaviour is supreme. But I had one problem: First I shortened the stem from 110mm to 80mm, but this doesn´t work well because of the (short) geo of these elder bikes. Now I changed to a 95mm-stem, and it works a lot better. And I had to steepen the seat angle too, because of the longer fork (+20mm) and the offset bushings, otherwise I got problems in the uphill.

This is absolutely magnificent! I had a Super V 1000 which I got in 1997. It had a green frame, yellow swing-arm, and red headshok. I always had cheap hardtail bikes up until I bought it, so like you, it was my dream bike. I enjoyed every meticulous second of this video, and in my eyes, you have paid homage to the Cannondale Super V series with this build - a true masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this.

had a '99 Super V 500 in green, replaced it around 2005 with a Scalpel. Even though I felt way more stable on the Scalpel and the lefty could take harder hits the Super V was super nimble, more like riding a scaled up BMX, loved it!
