cannondale - not sure which make this is?

['hamster]

Hi hubbers

 

could you please help me check which model this is? or a rough idea what you will pay for it?

 

It is in good nick but seems to be an oldish model.

 

The guy wants R5500, but I'm not sure whether that's reasonable?

 

Thanks

It's pre-2009. Can't see the components, but I reckon R5500 might be a bit steep.

Looks like either a CAD 2 or CAD 3, CAAD 4 and onwards had the curved seat-stays.

Also cant really see what components it has on, judging by the wheels looks fairly entry level, maybe Tiagra.

I reckon R5500 is a bit much if so.

That's a CAAD4 frame.... R5.5k IMHO is too much...

 

Depends on condition, but looking at components and being a CAAD 4 (up to 10 years old), I'd say R4k is closer to a fair price....

Looks like a CAAD 5 maybe, i have one similar. Cant see the components...

Wow guys thanks for the quick replies, all components seem to be Shimano Tiagra.

 

I did have a sneaky suspicion that it's a bit old and entry level.

 

Thanks again!! much appreciated guys!

CAAD 4. (External headset)

The CAAD5 had an internal headset

CAAD3 had the straight seatstays if I remember correctly.

 

Looks like very old 105 components. Octalink cranks.

Not more that say R3500

If you can get it for a good price its a great frame.

You can never go wrong with a Cannondale, their aluminium frames are brilliant.

Maybe see if you can get the guy down to a fair price.

This is a CAAD3.

The CAAD4 had the curved seat stay. I know as I had the yellow R500 when it came out in the hay days.

Agree with Spinnekop. No more than R3500.

OMG, I think that's my old bike!

If the seller is in Cape Town then it must be mine with 8 speed tiagra, I had it built up with tiagra, the wheels are my partners old wheels and the saddle belonged to an ex boyfriend..

 

Sold it about 3 years ago on Gumtree for about R4000 if I remember correctly. Damn I miss that bike - upgraded to carbon with Dura ace but still think about that bike often.

Agreed. But it looks like this bike has "curved stays"? (Hourglass stays) Picture looks like it.......

Yes that is what I also thought, I cant see any curve in the seat-stays. Maybe a closer picture will show better.

Either way R5500.00 is too much.

here's some more pictures

 

Interesting that your old bike was found NixM!

[Spinnekop]

Straight stays. CAAD3 then.

 

WAY to much for sure.

R2500-R3000

 

This is a bike you are going to use as a training bike or build from the bottom....groupset is VERY old.

 

Thus new everything except frame which means the amount you'll be paying is going to be for

a "Training bike" of for a "Frame" if you are going to upgrade long term.

[NixM]

Yip that is def my old bike - Was built up at Bridge cycles in about 2003 with tiagra groupset - never replaced anything on it when I had it. wheels came off my partners scott probably about the same age as the bike.

 

I LOVED that frame, get him to drop his price and upgrade the drivetrain and wheels, you wont regret it.

[quintonb]

Yeah CAD 3 for sure.

I ride a 15 year old CAD 3, have had it repainted.

I weigh just over 90kg's and its never given me any hassles.

Rode a sub 3hr Amashova on it.

I am running Ultegra 10 speed on it.

 

They great frames, worth it if you can get for a good price.
