FS: Cannondale System Six NOS

Within reason, obviously. What I'm saying is a NOS frame is not going to go for significantly more than a 'used' one in the same way it might for something rare/boutique. You might have some luck on eBay, but honestly, I don't see anyone here being that fussed. Might be worth sticking it in the Cannondale thread though just to see. Your market is a very specific person - someone who wants one of these frames and wants to pay the premium for NOS of the less popular colourway. A silver/black one in 56 is about £300 - that's what I paid for mine and that's what I'd sell it for. Even then, it might be tricky.

I'm not trying to be a dick, just trying to give some realistic advice. You'd deffo be better splitting it if you want to sell as NOS.

Me too. Although mine was 58

This went for 1100

Yeah but that one looks nice though.

£1500. Really?

So your saying your taste would determine if you bought it... and if your opinion is the spec is better then we definitely don't see eye to eye, but thanks for the input.

Never been used and complete groupo. The wheels are better too, also if it's not your taste and I think you prove that by saying "Yeah but that one looks nice though" makes you biast and not really what's needed, I need an object give perspective, but thanks.

I just found it hard to find one that was immaculate and unused, I considered the frame build of carbon and aluminium and decided that to have the co licence of knowing that the frame was not abused or the balls rode out of it was worth a few extra Bob.

Your a legend mate, excellent delivery and well spoken.

Thanks for the heads up.

I think you just want people to agree with you, but no one is.

I’d pay good money for a NOS 56cm with the correct stem in silver and black.

The other paint schemes don’t do it for me I’m afraid. Great frames though, albeit I suspect it might struggle with modern tyre sizes, but that’s a WAG.

To touch on a previous point if you’ve mounted the components then they are second hand, plus there is no warranty any longer so you need to be circa 60% of what the parts can be bought for new or it’s simply not worth not buying the new ones.

Clearly if the chap is saying the spec is better and the colour scheme he doesn't like .... have you seen what spec is on the other bike and his preference is a different colour. I just want an objective perspective. When someone is saying that the same model with generic wheels mixed used groupset and used frame is asking 1100 surely an extra 400 is justified. It just doesn't make sense to sell it at the same price when everything is new/unused, complete with 2 cranks, that saddle, frame impeccable. I mean if you clarify what it is your trying to say about the price providing you can take these elements into your perspective then I would be stoked.

Fame includes bb (rotor), headset, stem, bars, seat post (thomson) and its unused/"new" frame

Just keep it. You seem to really like it

Prove everyone wrong by selling it for £1,500 on eBay if you're so confident.

unused/"new" frame

...but it's not though is it? It's a used frame as you've shown in pictures. Definition of NOS is self explanatory. New old stock; i.e never used. This has stuff on it, and by default, it's used.

I don't think anyone here is trying to shit on your parade; it just seems to be a case of you really liking this bike and wanting the return of your time/effort/love you put into it paid back.
It'll never happen, unless you find someone who feels about it exactly the same way you do.

is the frame a 56 ? could be interested in it, just the frameset

Yes, I threw in a shit ton of spares too, included a 2nd set for forks, a set of tyres and some SRAM Red AND Praxxis chainrings.

Don't let yourself get wound up, step away from the keyboard, heed the advice, and take it from me.:

Arguing will not get it sold.

But I have it priced at 700 with 2 cranks. Sram red cranks still in the box. In my opinion, they are a steal, like if it was a demo groupset I would say it's different, a mounted groupset if it was unused and returned to a distributor or retail would be redistributed as new stock as long as the packaging was okay, considering I've been transparent about the whole thing and expected people of the industry to share the same perspective that the groupset would be "new". Its kinda like saying oh I'm not paying for the bike because its second hand and your definition of second hand is because it's on the bike.... just for arguments sake, let's say you walked into any bicycle retailer and told them I want 40% off the frame and groupset because you've mounted the groupset to the frame...?

Like in my mind I still say the groupset is new even though it's on a frame, so that was my reasoning f8r calling it new, even though I was calling it new I was still only looking for 700 and considering 2 cranks comes with it makes it even cheaper, I mean I cant be that far out like everyone is acting.... I feel there is a little bandwagon action going on here.... #backup 😂 @spotter read all the thread responses

58 mate.

All used, I'm just trying to separate another issue about used/unused.

Is the latest trend to get high as shit before listing your bike for sale?

Read my last sentence.

Not a new trend

Thank you for the advice I'm simply debating, I think my points are valid, and if we did what everyone else thought was right then life wouldn't exactly be much fun. If you feel there is an argument maybe the thread is not for you. The build spec is not the same, however, your colorscheme and size seems to be more attractive, I'm trying to determine that because everything in my build has custom parts and literally better spec on every component is worth an extra 400, there is a saddle that cost me 145.*keypad
