Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Picked up this earlier

I had some time so changed the saddle for an SMP, put pedals on, and changed bars and stem. I’ve got a black Zipp stem on the way , I’m not sure if the silver bars will work. Needs a bit more bdhu

Nice.... ! rear derailleur cable outer needs shortening

Yeah, the rear brake feels like complete garbage too!

A caad12' rear brake routing is not its best feat...

The other week I was scowling ebay like most of us do and I spotted a NOS, from factory, not finished, no paint 2011 CAAD X.

A bit of research shows its the model after the caad9 cx / cx9 batch...first ones to be made over seas I think, when the quality was still very high imo.

It was a very fair price for a NOS frame and I couldn't say no (classic).

It's very decently made, light too for a alu cx frame, around 1480 grams on my kitchen scales.

Looking forward to getting this built up.

No real plans yet as to how.

I’d love cannondale to bring out a modern xc bike in the Volvo colour way, I’d be all over that

Shit never seen that. Still available?
I do need a new xc bike. Was there a full sus model?

that's great. what forks ?
wish i had psotted that, as i have shortys lying around unused

It' a Cannondale F-SI throwback edition issued I think in 2019

I would like to slam the stem on my CAAD10. I however don't know what kind of headset I should buy, or if I can easily just buy another top cap or something.
Any suggestions?

Related to that, doe anyone know if the CAAD10 has a straight steerer or a tapered one?

1 1/8 to 1 1/4 tapered

These are pretty low - https://www.cannondalespares.com/Cannondale-Road-Headset-5mm-Top-Bearing-Cover--KP253/product_detail/3-40270

Or if you really want it slammed to the max you’ll need one of these

Unknown yet - id love a ritchey canti fork.

I'm unsure if I clean the frame up and leave it raw or paint it up.

the Mint CaadX ?

Huge inspiration tbf.

Not mint - maybe orange?

That might be easier said than done! Might be simpler to buy a new scalpel and spray it

Polish that biotch. Nuff said.

Cannondale team blue is traffic blue RAL 5017 😉
