Stop the world, I want to get off. Now.

£3250 CAAD12 😭

“ It does have a couple of minor marks but nothing to worry about, they are light scratches and a small pin dent on the top tube, it’s an aluminium frame so definitely nothing to worry about.”

🤣😂

Looking at your photo, it would seem that a 32c road tyre would fit comfortably. Continentals 4 seasons don't seem to blow up that hugely. Any observations/comments please?

Finished this today. It's a 54 and I think I'd probs be better off on a 52 ( ;) if u kno u kno, certain forum member...). Slightly shorter stem and I think it'll be manageable tho.

Will be going for a midnight London cruise later tonight.

(better photos to come...)

classic superclimber, very cool. do 25mm tyres fit at the front ?
why would a 52 suit better ? you'd certainly would add more spacers on steerer

"Would sell frame and fork/headset only - £1000....."

I wouldn't worry, I get the impression that the seller isn't from this planet.

Cheers, it's currently running 26mm Gravelkings actually and there's room to spare!

I've tried a 52 IRL and it seemed like less of a stretch, although looking at the geo charts it seems like reach is identical on the two so you may be right.

We need that overpriced thread!!

for a cx/gravel project?

That's a great project for someone. Sold as an XL but doesn't look it, does it...?

headtube length (so overall size impression) is quite deceiving on these as the fork's crown is really tall.. i'd make sure and go by the horizontal tt length.

i think it is a bigger size as the smaller ones had some slope on the tt

Just finished building this up! Just need to dial in positioning.

maybe @cake will buy

Got some magura hs33’s out of the parts bin for my old Cannondale, loving the improvement in braking, all bled and time for a ride.

That's lovely

looks like proper fun! Build is on point

Picked up this st1000 yesterday (excuse the hamfisted train station pic)
going to make for a rather nice and lowkey commuter/campus lock-up.

Anyone know the max tyre clearance for a 2021 Supersix Evo? I have 28mm GP5000 on the spiffy summer wheels (Lightbiycle) but like the idea of going bigger for the stock wheels for winter, hopefully GP4Season, though they're stupidly expensive at the moment.

I can get a 30 on with a good bit of air around the edge. May be able to squeeze a 33mm. YMMV

fuck me that's cheap

fuck that's pretty much my fave frame in my size. Don't need, don't have time or space. But seriously much want. fuck.

over v brakes or cantis? I have hs33s and v brakes but I'm not sure which to put on my project, is the fuss of hydraulic worth it?

well, i don't need it either, but i can't really get the grin off my face anytime i use it :)

This Caad 500 warrior will be my winter project. Not sure if I will keep the drops.

Ha that’s nice. I’ve already got the silver/black version which I think is slightly older. I absolutely love it, but i think these red saeco ones are maybe even nicer. Id like one at least as a backup frame i in case anything happens to mine.

Is that a 55? There’s a 56 for sale on here which I’m sure you’ve seen, thought it seemed strange this came in both a 55 and a 56?
