Additional Info
My first real MTB was a Cannondale SM1000 which I built up from a second hand frameset when I was in high school (I found it overseas on a family trip and packed it in the suitcase to get it home!). I’ve been on the lookout for one in the exact same black and white colour scheme ever since.
Whilst searching I’ve seen a fair few lower spec Super V’s pop up on FB Marketplace but then this small 17″ 1996 Super V Active 3000 popped up for $200 AUD and I jumped on it.
The seller had owned it since new and bought the bike in Switzerland (the shop sticker is still on the top tube!) where he rode the Swiss Alps. He then took it with him to New York, and finally he brought it with him to Sydney Australia where it’s sat in his garage ever since.
The bike was in great condition but sadly the rear Fox Alps-4 shock doesn’t hold air. On closer inspection I found a hairline crack at the top of the piston so I've replaced it with a cheap AliExpress shock for now. I got lucky with the Spinergy wheelset but so glad I found a set as IMHO they really suit the bike. It took a while to hunt down a full XTR set on eBay, and some CODA cranks, but I got there in the end!
