    Cannondale CAD8

    I wish that were close to me. Fair price and I don't have a CAAD8.

    Cannondale Series 6

    Not sure that's a 2020 model, I don't see any pink on the frame in the catalog but it could be a feminine model. You can buy a new Quick 6 for $650, but the current bike has Microshift components instead of Shimano which may not be a bad thing...

    Used Synapse Ultegra worth $1500?

    Looks like a great bike to me. The only thing I might change would be to put bigger tires on it. They came with 28 mm tires but I'm not sure if bigger will fit. The later Synapse SE models came with 30 mm tires and the 2018 catalog says that 32 mm tires will fit, but I don't know if the...

    Is my Canondale rare? Please help never seen one before

    It must be a 1FG (fixed gear) with the eccentric bottom bracket. Someone added the derailleur hanger and the cable guides on the down tube to convert it to a geared bike. I don't know what the numbers in the dropout indicate. I can't remember a 1FG that was painted white, but they may have...

    'Best' years for vintage Cannondale touring bikes?

    I wouldn't have either. Nor would have I thought it possible to bend the housing around and get it under the tape while remaining decent looking. It's great to be able to see what folks have tried without taking the time to do it on our own.

    I'd say that you won't hurt the value of the frame by a repaint as long as it's going to be something you ride and enjoy. I wouldn't attempt to pay for a repaint and period correct build if you intend to resell it. Could make a perfectly fine rider but my take would be to build it up to your...

    That looks as if someone welded in a mount for a kickstand. Definitely doesn't look to be Cannondale weld/finish quality. I don't know much about the urban models but those cable guides don't look right either.

    CAAD9 Restomod

    I've had a bunch of nice road bikes that weighed 22-23 lbs. 25.5 for a 1992 MTB sounds lightweight to me.

    That looks as if someone welded in a mount for a kickstand. Definitely doesn't look to be Cannondale weld/finish quality. I don't know much about the urban models but those cable guides don't look right either. There is a rectangular outline in the paint that is probably remnants of the...

    Street was still a model in 2005. The loops on the seat stays were gone, but there was no Headshok model that year. Still looking.
