Cannondale Caad7 R2000 Optimo 52cm - SOLD

Making the switch to disc brakes so got this taking up much-needed space

Cannondale Caad7 Optimo 52cm - I went on the absolute treasure trove that is Vintage Cannondale and found the 2003 catalogue which has this colourway and a size guide which is handy.

Comes with a Rotor threaded BB - 30mm I believe

Hope the photos show the condition well enough, it's in great knick and has very few scratches. I had it built up with new Ultegra and Zipps 303s - absolutely flew.

Looking for £300 - collection from anywhere around Hackney.

Cheers!

Would be all over this if it wasn't too small for me. Gorgeous.

@glws may have a bigger one...

i sold it in the summer, but yes i had the same in 56 (and cheaper)

I have a 57cm , pm me if any good

Still sitting in London unbuilt. Damn pandemic.

300 quid for 17 year old alu frame 🤷🏽‍♂️

as light, stiff and sleek as anything modern and in near mint condition 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I sold a complete Caad7 Saeco on here for £275 a few months ago.

I offer you £180

I think this is going to become a very collectible bike in the future given where it sits within the Caad lineage. Amazingly thin tubing, first of the bowed seatstays, first of the Optimo alu frames without losing the lovely aesthetics of the 3/4/5. The 8/9 series looked a bit worse imho. Behind the Caad10 I think the 7 was the best they made. Only selling as I've got no space!

Nah

Amazingly thin tubing, first of the bowed seatstays

We're all Caad nerds too... we know.
But you're still a bit off on price. Nicer Caads have and do sell for less

Grand, well, always happy to haggle but £180 is a bit low.

Need? Absolutely not. Want? Definitely yes

Treat yourself!

Sold !
