USA made optimo cyclocross headshok disc frame from 2005

Seems like they did one run of these - and it doesn't seem like they sold many given that there's no information about them and you never see them.

(You do see the canti headshok frames from time to time - having disc mounts is what sets this one apart)

Headshok init. One headtube size across the size range.

@eyebrows maybe, dunno. 58?

Acquired this stiff beauty earlier in the year. All original, just swapped saddle. Hilarious TT bars included.

After much deliberation I have come to the belief that my 60cm caad 9 is a bit big for me, does anyone here have a 58cm caad 10 frameset they are prepared to part with?

Baby Jesus!! My fave ever Klein colourway.

From what i remember, you do pedal with you legs angled inwards.......

Description has now changed to 52cm, which doesn't look right to me: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cannondale-Street-X-Gravel-Touring-Commuting-Cyclocross-Size-52-cm-/162107904223?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Hah, well - I guess I'm wrong then! The stem looks really long for a 52.

I was going to say it looks like a 54.
Out by 2cm, not bad...

Still- does anyone want a CAAD10 disc frameset in 54 (see the seamless segue there?)

FWIW the owner is XL :)

If it was a 56 or a 58 I'd have bought it.

Headshok needs work. Pre 2006 so TF won't touch it.

Kinda loathed to pay £400 for it, but then there are none of them around.

But I'm not a collector and it's probably going to be massive time suck and it won't make me happy as I won't ride it.

That said, would be awesome to get it, fix the fork then have it re-painted in hot pink or something.

I'm sure you could fix the headshok.

I could probably make it work again, but that's not the same as fixing it :)

Power meter fitted, Chinese carbon tubs fitted, still pissing about trying to dial in fit but getting there. Still unsure on colourway. Fucking love this bike though. The bike that owes me the least in the fleet but the one that I prefer to ride and the quickest. Long live the CAAD. Bet the fucker cracks now 😆

Fuck yes!

Is rad. Straight to hhsrb

rly good! have to ask: weight?

Is this sacrilege? Paid £10 at a cycle jumble for the frame yesterday, bubbled to fuck, so I don't want to ride it anywhere near a hill - therefore, parts bin pub bike.

44x15 magic gear.

And also this (crap exposure almost hides the mismatched bottle cages, fauxTragers are in the post).

Also needs a 130mm stem, but I only have an X4. I don't suppose anyone has an X2 10 degree to swap?

As pictured, a hefty 7.4kg, but I reckon at least 1500g of that is paint 😂😂😂

Buy a proper stem then, not those boat anchor.

Are x2 that heavy? Can you recommend me an equivalent priced, stiff at 120/130mm lightweight one?
