  • Cannondale BB total jokes!!
    I think I might have cracked the enigma!

  • A BB from Hambrini?

  • damn virus, migh have to try and sell a couple of projects. first up this if any interest ?

  • Is it a 54 or a 56...?

  • 56
    it can come with new ultegra BB, kcnc clamp for front derailleur, campag headset, original seatpost

  • Ta, too big. Probably for the best.

  • Still WIP but couldn't resist.
    2006 Six13 Pro

  • My recent pick up.

    I don't know a lot about the cad3, other than how responsive and quick it is.

    Can anyone shed any light on the year this was released, or any general history about it.

  • Thats lovely!

    (I will never understand the decals on those forks though)

  • Cheers! I got the frameset last year on ebay for just over £100!! It did come with a very stubborn/rounded off old Ultegra front brake and has got the dreaded galvanic corrosion under the clear coat (I kind of dig it..) + So I got the frame checked out and its structurally fine and rides super well :)

    Feeling silly running it with integrated carbon bars and a modern groupset but maybe after a few small upgrades it will be HHSRB worthy

    Re Forks: IKR? The Slice SI is the best one?

  • The Slice SI is the best one?

    There’s a whole load of different forks but generally the full carbon Time Slice Si is thought of highly.

    I have one spare, came from a IIRC 58cm R5000 Caad7, 45mm Rake.


    I assume the build has already been posted here.

  • My 1998 CAAD2 R300 winter/commuter. Bit of a mix and match of 105 and Tiagra on a set of solid Aksiums, it's been bombproof for years and I love it! On the look out for a newer frame for another build as one CAAD just isn't enough…

    • CAAD2 1.0.jpg
  • This is good. Looks perfect to me. Makes me happy as I bought one of these about 18 months ago and shamefully still haven't done anything with it. Paid double what you did but whatever.

    Didn't have a clue about the galvanic corrosion but mine has got it pretty bad. Read mixed things.

    Was planning on just moving everything over from my current bike - but ended up giving it to my girlfriend so now need full groupset and wheels..

    tl;dr - nice biek.

  • have a very nice caad7 in black gloss and orange but its 56

  • Second try:

    Did the model numbers R4000, R 1000, R500 have different frames (quality/weight/whatever) or was the numbering just used to reflect the different quality components like groupset, wheels etc?

    Thanks so much!

  • Impressive - yours?

  • pretty sure frames are the same components were different

  • It looks great but from experience a 56 is just too big sadly. Did you never get to build it up?

  • Did the model numbers R4000, R 1000, R500 have different frames

    -Fork might be different

    • later models BB might be BSA rather than BB30

  • Hello. I see a (mid-90s?) R700 for sale in my hometown but...
    [1] no wheels
    [2] steep seat stay angle
    ...has me wondering.
    Will this be for 650c only?
    Thanks for any enlightenment : )

    (edited for weird formatting)

  • No, just the fork!
    Usually, lower end frames had older CAAD frames, different forks and components aside. Say, in 2001 you could have gotten a caad3 r500, caad4 r1000, caad5 r2000 and a caad6 r5000.

  • @gertrudestein @Howard

    Many thanks, very helpful!

    For me it was important to know that within one CAAD generation the different model numbers do not mean different frame (quality/attributes)

  • Mannn, I want that bike!
