For Sale: Cannondale CAAD 7 Optimo - Size 58

Selling on behalf of a friend and I really wish it was smaller 'cos i'd keep it!

Very good condition Cannondale CAAD 7 Optimo in what appears to be size 58. My measurements of the frame are as follows:-

Top Tube 57cm
Seat Tube c to c 57cm
Seat Tube c to top 60cm

It has been well used but remains in full working order, perfect for winter or commuting. There is a very small dent in the left hand side of the top tube that is only apparent if you run your finger along the tube and few other marks here and there. The headset was replaced 6 months ago.

Shimano Ultegra 9 speed group with Cannondale brake calipers. There is some rubbing of the crank arms and the shifters won't win any beauty contests, but it all works as it should.

53/39 175cm chainset with 11/23 cassette (I think)

Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels with Michelin Pro Race 3 tyres.The wheels spin nicely are perfectly true.There's a bit of rim wear, but there's plenty of life left in them yet

Cannondale Seat Post and Stem, 3t bars.

Bontrager Saddle

Look Pedals and generic alloy bottle cages.

It's ready to ride!

£475...will post at cost if I have to but would prefer collection from CT93FB, sunny Margate!

Excuse the crappy phone pics....

A bit of research has highlighted that I have overpriced this somewhat...

So how about a more realistic £350?

Any questions please ask

i am so tempted by this
great price

Bargain

Well, yes. Providing it all works. Bear in mind they are 10 year old ali road frames.

Loved mine though.

groupset and wheels worth the price alone, you geta free option on the frame which looks pretty sweet

Would.

Dunno. Really depends on condition.

But it's certainly a fair price.

Prov dibs, pending looking at pictures better at home!

Good price, nice bike. I just hate that colour-way, I had the Saeco Team USA, was a bit better but not great.

Love it...

You'd love my Sobe replica F1000sl...

This and the Cherry Red are my fave 'dale road colourways. A bit marmite, I agree. But at least they have an opinion. Current paint schemes are very dull in comparison.

If I could find a NOS one in 54 with BB30 and the full carbon Time fork...

For why? show me the beauty........

It's a completely personal/irrational taste, but red and yellow together make me physically sick.

Here was the Saeco Dale I had....

Cannondale? Dent?

Where's Dammit?

For why? show me the beauty........

Oh, OK. She's much greener in the flesh - has a bit of a faux Kleinesque colourfade going on.

Where's Dammit?

On a long enough timeline they all get dinged :(

^^^^ is green.........is fine.

Here is a link to my Saeco Dale - I had two rides on it over the weekend (>40miles each - but not with the spinergys) - fast, light, stiff and great handling and fabulous climber. I wouldn't sell it for the price this one is being offered at. Its a bargain for someone.

These bikes are very under rated.

CheBeef - grab a bucket before you follow that link!

I had dibs on it, but someone went to see it last night so I'm guess they took it.

I would have definitely taken it as well :'(

Just a quick update - the bike has now sold. Thanks for all the messages and interest.

All jokes aside, this full red with yellow typo is Ok, but with the saddle and bar tape combo is....is....is.......

LOL - quality image. Still love my bike though. I wonder if I could splatter those spinergys to match the tape. Big plate of tomatoes and eggs anyone? Have a +1 CheBeef

hahhaha, you'd get a big thumbs up from me if you did that.

Invest in some disk wheels and vinyl this on....

Anyone looking at your bike in motion will spontaneously combust.

Amazing frame, a friend of mine had one! amazing, light and fast

Picked this up today, lovely bike

Assuming you PMd before I dibsed it, otherwise I'd be even more gutted that I missed out.
