My bikes: Cannondale Delta V 2000 1993

back in 1993 I bought a Cannondale Delta V (92 model) from Peter Darke Cycles in Sunderland, this was a fantastic looking bike but this was the early days of full suspension and the rear end bobbed somewhat ...



I kept the bike for a while but decided to move it on to go back to a rigid M600.

Moving forward to 2014 I spotted a top-of-the-range Delta V2000 1993 model frameset for sale on All things Bikes and I decided it would make a great addition to sit alongside my M800 Beast Of The East

    Hi from Denver, Colorado! I just got a 92 delta V2000, it only came as a frame and fork. My 14 year old Son wanted a project to build. He loves my 91 SE 1000. my SE1000, i just got back from a relative who took it from me way back---14 years ago. She stuffed it in her garage in Aspen. never touched. i love that Bike. The se1000, is a SUNDAY driver. and when the Delta is done it will be a Sunday driver for him. or he will hang it on his bedroom wall as art. The Delta 2000, in 92 was over $ 2,200. i couldn't afford it. but dreamed of it. thanks for your post. not much on the bike because it was before the internet. i may get another bike on craigslist and strip it, and put it on the delta. the paint isn't too bad. i may get it powder coated and new decals though. Thanks Bob

    Gorgeous bike! I have a Delta V1000 I'm attempting to replace the Headshok with a standard 1 1/8 fork. My LBS ordered the Problem Solvers reducers but only the top fit and we think the Headshok cup sizing changed at some point. Any advice?

    Just bought a used Delta V2000, identical to the one in the pictures. In original condition. As a first time biker, I feel happy that I bought a quality bike. Look forward to enjoying it.

    Can anyone recommend any bike shops in London to refurbish an old delta v2000.
    I want to upgrade parts to modern ones and perhaps go for a full respray.
