SOLD - Cannondale CX9 cross bike - 54cm

One of the last aluminium Cannondales made in the US – beautiful welds!

Only the frame is from the original bike, everything else has been upgraded for racing over the years.

Main spec:

• Frame: Cannondale CX9 54cm (Stack: 565mm stack; Reach: 381mm reach. As a guide, I’m 5’10”)
  
• Fork: Kinesis Pure CX full carbon
  
• Drivetrain: 1x10 Dura Ace, Ultegra, XT
  
• Brakes: Avid Shorty Ultimate with Kool Stop dual compound pads
  
• Wheels: Bontrager Race TLR with Clement MXP tubeless ready tyres (currently set up with tubes)
  
• Finishing kit: Cannondale C2 with SLR saddle
  
  

The frame has a few marks from racing, but is otherwise in very good order. Being picky, there's a very small and stable bit of aluminium oxidisation under the paint under the bottom bracket from years ago that hasn't developed into anything so I've left it as is.

I can include a pair of basic Shimano SPDs as seen in the photos if helpful.

Price: (£520) Now £390. Viewing in Tunbridge Wells or London League cross races. Collection also possible from Tunbridge Wells or Central London Mon-Fri daytime. Can also post within UK at cost.

Price dropped to £500.

Final price drop - £475. You could be racing on it this weekend!

You could be destroying it in the slop this weekend!

Nice frames these though, really liked the seat stay doobry.

It survived "The worst cyclocross event in the history of all things" (John Mullineux, 2014), so a bit of slop will be fine.

Hah I think I went to that one. Had a really twisty bit up by the farm buildings then descended in to waterlogged grass for the rest with hidden tyre wrecking potholes anywhere that was paved.

Dibs the forks if split. :)

That was Plumpton College. The worst cyclocross event in the history of all things was at Wivelsfield Farm. It was quite damp. I think @neilp went for a dip in the lake after his race to warm up.

Darn it - just what I'm after, but a size too big for little old me.

You’re right. Plumpton had been pretty horrendous, but Wivelsfield (the following season?) took it to another level. I’ve never spent so much of a race with the rims fully underwater.

Yes, Plumpton was 2013, Wivelsfield 2014. The same organiser too I think, Mark Tearle?

That was definitely the wettest race I've ever done. Another grim one was at the alternative Cyclopark course, Badlands, in 2017 I think? Was so cold after that, it took me days to warm up again.

Shame. Here's the geo chart, just in case.

I would be keen on the frame (w/o fork) if split..

Wrong time of year to be selling this I know, so a hefty two-day price drop to £390 plus postage before a Sunday trip to eBay.

That's a great deal for a race-ready bike.

Sold. Thanks to all those who got in touch. Rob
