CAAD 4 Fadez + Roberts

Managed to get this beaut off of the bay. Have wanted an old school Caad to fill my desires for a while.

I know some of them had 1/1 8 fork but this is a 1 inch. Frame is in great condition - no dings or anything. I couldn’t find the original frame in the old catalogs so am thinking it’s probably a respray jobby?

Initial build will be using components from previous bike, but treated myself to a new crankset to start.

love those fade caads

Yeah, like an early Caaaaaaad

I couldn’t find the original frame in the old catalogs so am thinking it’s probably a respray jobby.

Nah, it's called Afterburner Fade by Cannondale. Nice catch!

Great paintjob. I think someone on here had one in the same colours with a nice modern campag build but unfortunately it was crashed iirc.

Dayyum gorgeous. I missed out on one of those. But have my odd 650c to fart about with.

Oooohhhh the fade of it all. #dragracejoke

Fade to black (coz black forks innit)

Seconded, lovely paint job

However, Closest I get is the 2000 catalogue - black decals though

Looks sweet !

That looks amazing! I also love the guys blue kit in the catologue.
I’d like to see this with some old Mavic carbones with the big yellow stickers

ooo yeah

That bike needs medical attention, cause those fades are sick!

This looks decent!

Gumwalls need a clean though ;)

Haha or just some new ones!

flash bathroom cleaner (with mild bleach) works well on them, I find

lovely bike

Sweet ride. New bits look great on the frame. Aside from the red spokes that is.

yeah, the wheels were second hand and the guy had put red electrical tape on there... just haven't got round to trying to remove it

Lovely. Always wanted a Cannondale from this period.

Really enjoying this bike!

6 degree stem to help my back, and lowered the seat post to stop me being skewered

Stem/handlebar update

Just needs some nice new wheels and a clean

Could also do with de-stickering the wheels when I can be bothered

Very nice, bars look great. A slightly less fussy stem might be nice as there's a lot going on there.
