Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

I'm 6'3" on a good day and I ride a 58 SS, if that helps

6'4" before gravity shrinks me during the day.

I bought this CAADbury12 in 58 because it was purple rather than it fitting, but I made it work and rode it for a while, loving every moment.
Now ride (JOKING, no I don't! It's gathering dust and will soon be FS) a 61 Spesh Sworks SL7. I'd probably size up if I ended up with another CAAD12 tbh. Big bikes are just so ugly though...

I’m a leggy 190cm on a 58 s6 over here too. Had a 60 but sized down.

If you’re long in body/arms, then 60 might be better.

Get a bike fit. You won’t regret it. It’ll save you time and money in the long run.

Oof great advice, thanks peeps. Especially the bike fit - deep down I know you’re right.

Thing is I think I probably should ride a 60 but I’ve been offered a good deal on a 58, so I really want it to fit lol.
Only a good deal if it actually fits though.

I’ve been abstaining from derailleurs so far this year but taking this thing out this morning was an absolute blast.

This is great.

a good deal if its purple.

FTFY.

Use geometry geeks website, compare to what you know.
I had a OG….58 HM S6 disc and was on the small side for me and I’m 6’3”.
My brother has it and seems ok and he’s 6’1 and a bit.

Tempted to take a punt, but before I do…

Is anybody selling a 2020 SS Evo Rim brake size 60cm?

That saddle angle indicates a poor bike fit, did you try to put it horizontally and drop the saddle height a bit?

Anyone have one of the older aluminium frames with the extended dropouts, early 90's? One has come up for sale near me and would like to see what they look like built up and opinions

Decent one here and there was an amazing one with a wound up fork somewhere in hhsrb too.

One of the nicer ones I've seen. Link

How much drop do you want to run? I’m 6’3 with 82cm saddle height and ride a 61. Still gives about 11 cm drop but much more comfy to be more stretched out than doubled over reaching bars that are too low.

My '94 R900..

Yeah I think you’re right. I’ll just end up running a massive spacer stack on a 58.
The numbers for a 60 are closer to other bikes I know. Probably best to just wait for a 60 to pop up!

Would anyone like my Silk Road frame for let’s say £200?

.

Thankfully I don't have space

1994 R800 frame and forks for you vintage freaks?

This saddle height suggests it’s just a photo of when I threw it together. 1 internetz bike fit judgement point to you.

I hope you find my previous CAAD more appeasing :)

I sure do haha. Is this a 58 too?

It is indeed also a 58.

Wow this looks pretty much like catalogue

Apart from the rims (should be Mavic open 4 silver but I have the cd version) it is exactly how it left the factory in March 1994!
