NOS 1999 Cannondale SuperV500 project

Found on Ebay NOS Headshok frameset. Frame Fork Stem, never built into a bike.

Basically gave it a 26" gravel racer wheelset and driveline. 1x11s 42t ring, 11-46t cassette, SLX derailleur with SRAM NX Gripshift.Rene Herse 26x2.3 Extralight Gravel Slicks (Rat Trap Passs). Carbonal 25mm rims, with BERD rope spokes. Both wheels + Both tires<2000g.

Brakes are BB7, SRAM Metallic pads, Shimano RT-86 Icetech rotors 180/160. (My Ebike brake setup). Jagwire Elite Link cables strobede red/black links to match the graphics. Hard lines where flex isn't needed. Rear shock is an XFusion O2 RL lockout air shock. Locked out unless needed.

White ENO Front Freewheel setup. FFW was a useful Ebike hack. It's what I'm used to now.

I don't care what Sheldon Brown said 50 years ago. It's nice on a 1x driveline.
