[Svarojiz]

Hi all!

I need your help to inditificate the frame in attachments. The decals says that this is a CAAD3, but frames tale is strange for CAAD3 and I did not see this in other photos on the Internet. I would be grateful for your help!

Found it in the catalog. This is the XR800, 2000 release.

Oh, cool! What u can say about this bike? What is the total weight? How does it behave on gravel and crossover? I think to buy one, but it seems the seller has put up a very high price for it (about $ 370).

I think the price is reasonable. Guessing it was $1200 or so new. I don't know the weight off hand but I would guess around 21 lbs. It's nice on gravel. I'd like a taller head tube but other than that it's fine. Won't fit super wide tires but most 32-35 mm tires should fit. Can weigh mine later tonight if I remember when I'm home.

I bought it for 310$. Awesome bike! I never thought that I would ride a vintage .. x) Ok, ok.. five-ten years and it will be vintage '

I weighed another XR800 built with Campagnolo 10 last night. It weighs 22 lbs with a pair of heavy low end SPD pedals. Plenty light enough for gravel road riding. Enjoy it.

Good score. It is made in the USA and a quality bike. Even for vintage... and really, even last years model is vintage.

Tnx There is little work to do on tuning, replacing, and painting. But the bike realy looks pretty nice. By the way, it weighs 11.9 kg (~26 lbs) in this kit. This is due to the dynamo hub, flashlight and tires (upd: and pedals ofc). I think the bike was used as a touring, so this is normal.
