Repainted and recreated the decals for this 96’ M500 which was in horrible state when I picked it up.
Also upgraded it with some nice bits (XTR M950 groupset + Thomson stem and handlebar)
This thing is so fast! Feels amazing riding it

Tasteful AF. Well done
Really well done, beautiful build. I love that paint color bro.
Fantastic build. Love the color!
That’s hot as hell
Good stuff, love the geo of that frame and the straight blade form. Cannondales are the only alluminum bikes I like. If you are using it for city riding I’d highly reccomend switching the QRs on the wheels/seatpost for bolts to avoid theft.
Damn that color is gorgeous. Awesome build! Full XTR is such a flex, looks amazing too
It’s better than as new
Beautiful build.
Super clean! Looks great!!
So sick! Lovely build 🙂
Bro is king of clean!
That’s a cool rig
Any issues with proprietary Cannondale sizes or anything like that? I always felt like they had weird sizing for their parts.
This guy fucks!
Nice to see another m500, and with a pbone fork! I love my matte violet, but that brown is killer. I kept mine with the 3×7 and canti’s, but you’re making me think upgrades soon lol.
This is the exact aesthetic I want to build my bike around. Idek where to start tho lol idk how this sub popped up, but these bikes are nice asl.
The last time I refinished an old aluminum frame I discovered stress fractures in the seat stays. It wasn’t a Cannondale, but I did have a Cannondale M700 frame from earlier in the 90’s that was replaced by Cannondale for the same reasons. Just a word of caution.
Godamn
You did a very nice job and it’s a good mix of black and silver components
What’s that front chain ring size?
Very cool and unique.
Sick ass bike but I got a question about the pavement, are you in the Netherlands?
would look cooler if it didn’t only have a climbing ring.
Just picked up an M500 over the weekend from the 90s. Your post got me stoked to modify mine, great build !
