great build

@B0N0R
I’m of the opinion you should take this off my hands.

Anyone with a CAAD12 Rim brake running crossed cables?

May be of interest to Cannondale fans. Also documentary evidence cannondales have been getting worse over the years.

interested, how much ?

85 posted (70+15, Shipping from Germany is spendy) if B0n0r doesn't want them. With SI plug, might find a Campag hiddenset to go with it.

What is the common approach for fitting different cranks, something like this?

Very happy with mine on my CAADbury, also fitted one (ceramic.. fancy) to my Kona Hei Hei mtb too since, as was impressed.

Dibs wheels when you realise they're too big for you :)

Purple CAADs FTW.

If @LeMesjeu only wants the arms, I'll take the spider, if you'll post up north.

I'm annoyed I didn't think of this tbf...

that is excellent.

does it fit 25mm tyres ?

It does, here it is with an actual 26mm width/24mm height, 6mm clearance all around.

Potential 3rd dibs if the others pass.

nice, thinking about it for my 7 optimo

Dialling this in atm.
As well as slowly reducing spacer stack.
Have missed it during its long sabbatical in Devon.

Have a fancy pants Topstone Carbon frameset for sale if any of you aficionados are in the market fior a fancy gravel frame.

Here is my small contribution to the topic, an R2000 from 1996 that I just finished assembling. I will certainly swap the current seatpost (chorus steel) with an sp-7410, and the front derailleur will be also changed with fd-7403. Not the most comfortable ride but super stiff and reactive for its age :)

Working at a big cannonade dealer i have more issues with people who've tried to "upgrade" their bike with a thread in the middle BBs

Belatedly, but can you expand on what issues you've seen? I guess its something specific to the way the threaded ones work, as I'm running the Wheels MFG inserts which sit in regular BB30 bearings and have had no issues (although I also haven't ridden the bike in over a year at this point)

Here is my r800 from 1996

Saw that 54 purple one and was so close to buying but really can't be arsed having to strip my current one, sell all the bits etc just for a nicer colour... If a 56 comes along I might find it harder to resist though.

First bike I've owned which I don't get bored of looking at. I did manage to put a dent in the top tube dropping it on the bars the other day though so I basically have to get a new frame now. TCR maybe?...

Some lovely bikes on this page!

Tentatively looking for a 52 CAAD12 rim brake frameset in case anyone know's of anything. I've had 8's and have a 9 in 54 but looking at the geo think a 52 will be a safer bet. Might also consider a complete build if the price is right but keen to stick with rim brakes to use my new wheelset.

dang !
how bad is the dent ? the one i had on my rim frame auto-corrected itself

Was always a bit sad at missing out on the purple CAAD12, and sold my yellow CAAD12 disc not long ago.
Next year's Supersix though...
