Cannondale road bike

[johanlouw]

A friend of mine wants to sell his Cannondale road bike. It's an old bike with the shifters still on the frame. Groupset is Shimano 105. It has Campagnolo rims ( not carbon fibre as far as I can see ). It is dark metallic blue. Unfortunately I can't seem to upload photos. Probably 10 yrs+ old. Any ideas on what he should ask for it?

Thanks for input.

Shifters on the downtube - bike is much older than 10 yrs.

If it has downtube shifters most probably is a 2.8 series. Nice bikes, super rigid and strong.

Some pictures would be great to confirm.

Price, probably not too much. There are some cannondale collectors, but they don't carry as much value as steel framed bikes of similar age.

 

Why sell it, they are bikes that will last forever. Rather keep it and use it if he can.

Probably Criterium series 2.8 or 3.0 series.

 

About R2500 maybe...

 

Better to keep it. What size?

[johanlouw]

It's an Aluminum 3.0 series. Can't find any other markings on frame, but it's probably a medium. When I try to upload the photos from my Ipad, it says file too big. I don't know how to change size of photo's. The gentleman is elderly and has stopped cycling, hence reason for selling.

Not more than R1 000

Hi Johanlouw,

I payed R600.00 for a similar frame some years back. Was worth every cent - doubt if I will ever part with it.

If it is a complete bike I agree with X-man - R2500.00.

Have a great week
