Cannondale 2.8 56cm

Posted on
  • Sad to say I'm selling this frame, but I have to admit that it was just a touch too big for me.

    It's a 56cm Cannondale 2.8. 54cm ST c-c, 59cm ST c-t, 56cm TT c-c. I'm including both the original forks, headset and Controltech stem (that are 1 1/4") and the current forks, headset and stem combo (which is Columbus Tusk forks, Chris King Sotto Voce headset and ITM Millennium stem). I'll also include the carbon 27.2 inline seatpost if you like.

    The paint is in reasonable condition for the frames age (I think someone has attempted to touch up some spots with touch up paint). There are some scuffs from usage and a previous owner must have had an accident with the chain dropping as there are some deeper marks inside the chain stay. There is one small ding on the top tube, that has no effect and is hard to photograph, but it should be viewable in the pics.

    Any questions, please feel free to ask. I think these frames are great and build up into really nice HHSRBs or period correct road racers.

    I'm asking for £220 to take it away. Cash on collection. I'm in Leyton, but can arrange meet ups around (preferably East) London to suit buyers.

    Pics of what you get below:

  • split Chris King Sotto Voce for cheaps? to live life on another dale?

  • Don't really want to split anything up yet, but I'll keep you in mind if it does get to that stage.

  • I'd say massive shame, but the Look takes it to another level. I feel you about it being too big. Struggling to find a comfortable sweet spot on mine too. Good luck with the sale.

  • Thanks mate. It is a shame, because I really like it, but when I found the Look I knew I had to have it and sadly, mrs roboto doesn't agree with the total amount of bikes I think I need.

    This is how I had it built up before I went to the French Carbon side. 165mm cranks really helped with the fit IMO, but climbing out of the saddle didn't quite feel right with a big frame beneath me.

  • Dropping the price to £200 for the lot. I sort of realise that not everyone wants two pairs of forks, but I'd rather keep the original parts together.

    If I do split. It will be original Frame, forks, headset and Controltech stem for £120. Tusk forks £40. Chris King Headset £40. ITM 100mm Stem £5 and Carbon Seatpost £15. I will want buyers for most of the parts before I start selling though.

  • PM'd

  • Replied

  • Still available. Could do with someone taking this frame off me before Mrs Roboto starts getting angrier about the bike pile on our balcony!

  • Rad frame makes rad bikes which are rad

  • yep thats rad

  • Yep. Unfortunately my limbs didn't allow me to take it back to the level or redness you set the bar at. Someone will be able to do it justice though.

  • By the way all the extras are now for sale separately. This thread is just for the original frame, forks, headset and controltech stem.

    Now sold!
