1991 Cannondale 1MB with Campagnolo MTB group Olympus Centaur - European Vintage

Description

Vintage Cannondale 1MB Mountain Bike with Campagnolo gruppo
European Only Edition - Circa 1991
This Cannondale 1MB is similar to their M1000 model, except the 1MB is equipped with a choice Campagnolo off-road group. These bikes were sold primarily in Europe and are hard to come by, especially in the states.
Painted a distinctive metallic gray with blue decals, this particular example is nearly stock, with the exception of the tires, saddle, grips and seat post.

Condition:
This bike is in very good shape. There are nicks in the paint from riding and storage. And some of the decals are scratched. The brake cables are routed opposite of what's common in the US. The tires have good treads, but some of the sidewalls are showing through. Overall, this is just a very cool bike and a cool part of mountain bike history.
Shipping:
Due to my work schedule, I typically ship on Fridays and Saturdays. This bike will be packed by my local bike shop, so additional time will be required for that. Shipping price includes packing, shipping, insurance and signature on delivery.
