- Check out this sweet refresh of mid 2000's Cannondale Rush. This is a collaboration video with my niece who wanted her "booger green" frame painted something a little more cheerful. Thanks to @cbibikes we also got the suspension overhauled and dialed in perfect for a rider under 100lbs. Thank you @marquecycling for hooking us up with the sweet all metal platform pedals and comfy lock on grips. And a huge shout out to all of you that have supported this channel.

Your channel deserves way more attention. Great content. 👍
Thank you!
I drove a ways to look at a Cannondale Rush SL. Not sure why I bought it except it was far enough that I didn't want to go home empty-handed. Bike needed a complete rebuild and is my first Cannondale. Had to get the Lefty fork rebuilt. Found a cheap new Rock Shox Monarch R rear shock. Waiting for a new 9 speed setup to arrive. Found new bearings for everything. Wish I could have started with a nicer bike - I probably paid a little much for mine. But I am learning. I don't know all the sizes and numbers when it comes to bicycles. Took me a couple tries to get the bottom bracket/crank and chain rings figured out. Anyway, looks like your niece's bike turned out good.
I should have mentioned two things in the video. The decals were put on after the bike was assembled and were not clear coated because we knew that Brooklyn would be adding a number of decals to the bike. The suspension rebuild was just replacing the seals and the oil on the rock shock recon. The Manitou rear shock cannot be rebuilt because there are no replacement parts however the seal is good. It just needed to be cleaned and aired up properly.
26" Thanks!
WOW that makes my heart sing rusty great Job 👍❤️
Great work as always. I really wanted to hear more about Iceland, I love that country so much!
Thank you Ian, I have serveral bike restoration videos in the queue, but I will have a special one on Iceland sometime this winter.
I look forward to all of them (especially Iceland) 😀
My first Cannondale was a blue M800 Beast of the East which i repainted it Cadnium (Signal) Yellow and all parts were mostly purple Ringlé. :))
Very nice bike Brooklyn!
Brought back some sweet memories to watch your bike build. ❤
Cool project. Would love to see her riding the bike!
Nice story. That powdercoat job and decals really refreshed the bike!
Thanks Mike. The powder vs paint video is still coming. I recorded a pretty cool story a few weeks ago that I am adding to it. I think you will get a lot of questions answered from it :)
You nail the colour .yellows a family favourite here
Thanks Nick!
Nice color and such a happy face! I think the fork can be changed from 80 to 100 or 130 mm travel by removing a spacer inside the air spring. That will make the fork more plush and the head angle slack.
Thanks David. I believe it is set to 120mm right now but I could be wrong. Definitely worth looking into!
What a cool yellow you picked. Amazing.
The bike turned out great Rusty!
Thanks man!
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the content!
Great work ! I would like to rebuild my old Prophet like this, with a powder coated frame 🤩. That said, perhaps the Rush deserves something more biting than those Avid BB7 mechanical brakes.
Looks great
Thanks Andrew!
Awesome job.
Thanks for watching Scott!
That turned out really nice 😁✌️
Thanks!
It’s a beautiful canary yellow🤙🏽
Such a cool bike, awesome job. Wondering why you didn't do a 1x conversion?
Hi Mike, thanks for watching! It really came down to budget on this one and the 3 x 9 was still working great.
Awesome 💪👍🤘
Thanks for watching Tomas
Great stuff!
Thank you!
Was that the color code used for Cannondale's Speed Yellow? This color is sick! I've been punting around the idea of painting my Cannondale Prophet. Seeing this just sealed my color choice!
Hi Tim, we ordered this color called hot yellow from prismatic powders-
HOT YELLOW
Item: PSS-1623
Love the video. Great job on the rebuild. I about gasped when I saw you installing the decals at the end. My dad raced xc since before I was born and I grew up watching him race. He had an old Cannondale Super V complete with an early generation lefty. Around late 2000's he picked up a Cannondale Rush (2007 to be specific) and raced that for a few more years before he got seriously injured and sadly his racing days were over. He continued to ride casually but nothing like before. A few years after I enlisted and made my way across the country, he shipped me his bike in the hopes that I would ride it like he did. Fast forward to today, it's in rough shape, needs upgrades, and the paint isn't what it used to be. I was considering getting it painted but had no hopes of running the rush decals after. That leads me to my question, where did you get those decals?

Here you go!
@@CoolBikeProjects Thank you!
Hi! Nice bike! 26 or 27.5 wheels?
Hi, I'm rebuilding my own Rush now and an having a heck of a time finding the headset. Do you have a part number for it? Thanks!
hello sir, any questions please? Is the frame of this bike carbon or aluminum? THANKS
Aluminum
Wtb tires always run a little “thicc”😂 my bike came with trail bosses 2,25 and now I have Michelins 2,4 and the difference is not very big
hi I know this is quiet a bit late to reply on this video. I also have a cannodale rush 26er and Im just wondering what size of headset did you use for the restoration? I also want to restoere my Cannodale rush. Thank you and hoping you would reply.
There are quite a few options, but basically all you need is the 1 -1/2" to 1-1/8" treadless headset. Here is an example of one. www.amazon.com/Cannondale-Reducer-Headset-Threadless-HD232/dp/B07PVDDYVM/ref=asc_df_B07PVDDYVM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693769127210&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16031050920616144105&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029499&hvtargid=pla-2142045404837&psc=1&mcid=f0d53c827b9f38f399222ace6211892a&gad_source=1
Did he put the rear shock on backwards?
Don't think so?!
Hydraulic brakes would have been a better way to go for more stopping power.
I don't know these BB5's do a pretty good job for their age :)
@@CoolBikeProjects I thought those were BB7. As cheap as hydros are these days I would went that route along with a 1X10 or 1X11. :)
@@kona0197 I think your right on the BB7's They came with the bike as well as all of the parts. The budget was $500 for the makeover so that's what we went with. I think the 1x drive train will be the next upgrade. Thanks for watching!
@@CoolBikeProjects No problem. Love your videos.
