I found this 1989 Cannondale SM2000 mountain bike on Craigslist. It is in pretty decent shape for a 20+ year old bike. I am setting it up for commuting to work.
First, I traded out the old pedals for a newer pair that I had in my "bike box". Then I swapped the old seat for a new one from WTB. I also added a Planet Bike LED headlight and a pair of clip-on Planet Bike fenders.
The knobby tires that came with the bike were pretty worn so I got a pair of Forte' Gothams from Performance Bike. It has been a lot of fun working on this bike and I look forward to putting some miles on it very soon.
Here is a picture of my new old bike as purchased. I will post an updated picture when I get it all set up for commuting.
Take care.
