QR Code Link to This Post
In case you're not familiar with Cannondale's line of road bikes, the CAAD series is their highly respected, all aluminum race/road bikes. They were raced by a number of professional teams including the famous Team Saeco to many local, national, and international wins. Over the years, they've developed a cult-following and are known for their speed, responsiveness, and ride quality. They were hand-made in the US and considered to be one of the finest-riding bikes available for the price.
This specific example is a R5000 which was their top of the line model and has a complete set of Dura Ace 7800 components including the wheelset. Dura Ace 7800 is considered by many to be one of Shimano's finest groupsets and has a loyal following as well. This bike is a 58 cm which has the following measurements:
Top tube - 57.5 cm center to center
Seat tube - 58 cm center to top
Seat Angle - 73 degrees
Head tune angle - 73.5 degrees
Head tune length: 17.3 cm
The bike has VERY low miles on it, has been well taken care of, and is in exceptional condition (a true 9.5 out of 10 with only a few very small marks on it that you need to look for to find). Will also include a set of Ultegra clipless pedals. They're a bit scratched up but still smooth and work perfectly.
The original retail was almost $4K. You can buy this one in near new condition for $500 cash. Just the 7800 Dura Ace groupsets themselves in this condition are selling for $500 or more!
This would be a great bike for someone that's looking for a high-end, well-respected machine for a very reasonable price. As mentioned the size is a 58 which would be great for someone around 6' to 6'2". I'm 5'10" and unfortunately, it's just a bit too big for me which is why it's being sold.
Please text or email if you have questions or would like to see it in person.
Thanks for looking
