Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

He's pretty tall with very long legs and the tt is definitely long enough for him, 61ctc iirc. He's been bugging me about cutting the stem down but i'm yet to get round to it.

DAS'd you earlier having recognised this 👋🏻

Aha! Hello!

This needs rescuing!!

I would if someone can assist

Colorway is awesom, got the same for my sister (saddle is now a brooks C19)

Which model is yours? H, C or T?

If you need a wishbone mudguard mount let me know, I have some spare

Hi all, my CAAD 2 R300 (1998) has some oxidisation under the paint at the headtube and the seat stays/chain stays that's getting worse- can anyone recommend a place that can assess, fix and re-paint it? I'm in SE London but happy to strip it and send it if needed. Thanks! Titch

My latest purchase, near nos 94 R800 with some tasteful mtb customising

Oof great find

Love the wheels with that frame

Thanks, yeah they are Matrix iso c-II, also pretty nos.
Don't recognize the cassette though, says "USA Patent" but not sure the brand...
It seems to have a KingsberryUSA finishing kit ; purple bolts, and bb and the xlite seat post, all screams custom mtb... Its a fun one but i love it !

Can’t quite put my finger on it but there’s something off about that.

does this just look like a standard optimo track frame

it's drilled front and rear which kind of answers my question a little bit, does it look like anything special apart from the paint job

Looks the same as normal Capo to me

I'd say it's a team CAAD 5 track with that fork, Capo had the normal Slice.

it's on sale at $399 and stated early 2000's track frame which is a little unusual, maybe they just got the date wrong, it's got hourglass rear stays which is caad4 ish
rear bridge drilled with the same shape brake mount as you'd see on their road bikes

i've asked for a frame number so i can check a bit further

Same thing are they not?

I've seen Capos with straight forks and the above curved ones

Not sure if there's any differences in the frames, they both have the hour glass rear stays and drilled rear. I had thought my 5 was slightly tighter at the back but that was probably more likely a worn chain on the Capo. I'm pretty sure that fork is CAAD 5 track though, look at the swage line near the dropout

early 2000's track frame

CAAD 5 production time AFAIK, shouldn't of sold mine...

Yeah I think 2005-2007ish.
Capo seemed to go on after that until at least 2010 so maybe the CAAD5 Track became the Capo because they'd moved on from CAAD5 in the road range

Thanks,

heres what i got back from the shop, doesn't seem quite as rare as it first seemed

In regards to this Cannondale frame the Serial Number is RO3547 indicating that this frame is from 2006. Wasn't able to pin down if this frame is a CADD4 / CADD3 as it is one of their track specific frames which fall under different categorization. Thanks again for your interest and don't hesitate to reach out with further questions.

if anyone is interested $399 + shipping which they would be happy to arrange from the US

I'm both impulsive and too tall for this bike. I've since got it muddy and appreciate the lack of braking power - canti brakes conjure a reasonable amount of fear on mild terrain.

Fit some high rise BMX cockpit = Big BMX

Too much winter for the winter bike today, does make for a cool pic though. Classic English person, snows once and phone out to take a picture
