Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Don't think I've ever seen one of that age cannondale in odd sizes like 55. I suspect it's actually a 54 or 56 and the seller has just measured something out at 55ish

I am often wrong though

Nah there’s also a 53 here…

Which makes me think the 56 on here May actually be a 55…

My go to would be a 54 hence 56 too big but 55 prob would work hence my intrigue…

Yeah you're right, I looked up the catalogue. CAADs were always even number 2cm increments but for the six13, they did 1cm increments between 52cm and 60cm

Solid research skills.
That’s a lot of production…. Good to know there’s 54s out there though, cheers.

thanks

afaik, they didn't come in odd numbered sizes, so it should be a 56, same as mine.

the ones with 2 carbon tubes were the earlier ones, the ones in the fb ad are the 3 carbon tube versions.

here's a geo chart:

EDIT: ha, dumb me, didn't see there was another page. ask for a head tube measurement, it'll tell you what the size is ;)

Ha, cheers. So basically every size ever on the early ones, and then went back to even sizings…

Again good to know

CAADs were always even number 2cm increments but for the six13, to make things as unprofitable and as difficult as they possibly could, they did 1cm increments between 52cm and 60cm

"homologated" race frame with all sizes made for the pros actually released to the public? :)

wow!
Love it! Great bike

thanks! will be updating it soon with some ww stuff (sisl2 w/spidering plus small bits and bobs). it'll reach its final dust gathering form soon..

@boredom sorry for the late reply. Over cantis. I personally like the fit and forget quality of hs33’s and the braking is better compared to a lot of v brakes. But I’ve also drilled out the brake bosses for the hose so can’t go back now.

Looking to sell a 54cm polished alu R900 frame.

Don’t know too much about this one. Anyone interested?

Anyone able to help with a reasonable price?

Great autumn ride on my old, first generation Evo through the Chilterns this afternoon. Only spoiled by the BB30 creak of shame. I need to fix it - I can't ride with it like that all winter. I'm sure we've had this before, but what are peoples suggested remedies?

I stripped/cleaned/rebuilt mine using wakos brake protector instead of grease... been silent ever since, I even reused my old bearings, if your near Leeds you can use some of mine... its not cheap to import (Japanese product) but a friend got me some whilst in Japan....

@rob_g_clarkson thanks for the suggestion and for the kind offer too. I think I'll try stripping, cleaning and re-greasing first. I'd also heard that a combination of Park Tool primer / retaining compound was also effective.

Loctite® 609 is your friend here

I have some PF30 bearings and cups removed from a Supersix mk2 that have less than 2,000kms on them. VGC. LMK.

Ooff been off for too long

Awesome @samdaniel @gertrudestein @Jay75 @hma

@gertrudestein is that a dark grey on the st? Looks great. Also, whats the (0 deg?) stem on the t700? 🤤

On another note i have been struggling with me ghetto gravel project lately

Every bolt that i want to use does not fit etc. and now i had to realise that my initial thought „anframe with canti studs can alsways be used for cantis and v brakes“ is wrong.

The clearance on both the seat stays and the fork blades is so narrow that the brakepads delivered with the vbrakes do not fit

I now have ordered some slimmer cool stops hoping that they solve this because if i have to go back to cantis, i might abandon this project 🙄

I also dremel‘d the GRX chainring quite a bit to make it fit to the 105 cranks

A friends Cannondale was pinched in Bristol last night. Please keep eyes peeled.

New model rim brake Supersix with a lightly damaged fork on eBay for £800. Would I stand any chance of finding a replacement fork? Looks like they only did the rim brake version for a year.
