Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

i know you did all of that intentionally

looks like I 'accidentally' won a CAAD5 R1000 frame and forks on ebay. oops. but yeah

Those are nice. Looks almost nos.

That dent tho

yeah will have to check out dent when I get it. and overall condition. if its good enough I will switch parts over from my usual douchebag rig. if it is not good enough will build up with parts for alternative pub bike.

CAAD OPTIMO 105 ROAD BIKE 2020 is £500 too much or about right. Not done many miles around 800 miles .

What’s your regular douche atm ooi?

just a CAAD8 I picked up off of here ages ago and have pimped up along the way. always wanted one of the older CAADs.

Someone did build up one of those really well, it’s in this thread somewhere. Looked great.

Come on. Indulge us…

Careful @jonny it’s a trap. He’ll be shaming you if you’re using a sub-optimal valve length or any other minor infringement.

Note he’s too scared to post his own

ha cheers dude. don't mind falling in to this trap as I know I have posted it in this very thread enough times already

the whole set up is a felony

The bhdu brigade will be along and brown bartape is actually illegal but otherwise that’s great.

heehee. cheers dude. bartape is brown leather and was made by a company that is no more, sadly.

Jonny, you have keys to the city, so not a word. Not even on the shifters.

Pure vibes, that.

I have submitted my Cannondales for the records many times. Informed comments included “Very envious!”, “Looks great”, “Love that” and “Sweet. Good year”.

this is an unashamed attack on the kitchen-reno wireless-groupo nu-lfgss bourgeois types

would ride, barn door is off the scale too

spot on dude cheers.

those doors will be making way soon I am afraid. you can have them if you cover the postage

Any input here on a Caad 7 R1000? I'm eyeballing one as we speak but have no experience with Cannondale whatsoever.

i reckon that would be an epic frame to start getting experience with

Well, thing is....that I don't really need one as I have an excellent rim brake bike already. I just like the look but if they ride like shite I'd rather not venture down that rabbit hole.

BB is threaded or already BB30 on those frames? If BB30, I'll pass as I only buy bikes with threaded BB's.

Comes with Record 10s drivetrain (original crank included)

I like the white, think some carbon hoops will make it pop nicely.

oof that frame looks excellent. drivetrain sound too. not sure about BB shell. someone will hopefully pipe up.

i say if you can get it for a good deal then you should go for it. you might find yourself retiring your other rim braked road bike

Yeah the latter isn’t going to happen haha. I’ll await some feedback from the forum and / or the seller on the BB.

too old to be bb30, i think
