2007 Cannondale CAAD9 56CM

[slideruleracer]

OK, based on how a different road bike did not sell very well here, I'm not sure this is going to be very interesting, but I figured I'd post it.

I have a PERFECT 2007 Cannondale CAAD9, basically full Ultegra except for the brakes (105). Size 56cm. In total it has less than 300 miles on it. Last fall I put on a new crank, a compact Ultregra which has only 1 ride on it (about 35 miles). It also comes with nearly new Ultegra pedals.

Specs here: http://www.cannondale.com/usa/usaeng...CAAD9-Optimo-2

The reason I'm selling is that over the winter I decided I was going to try to build a 54cm and see if it fit better.. I built up nearly an exact copy of this bike because I liked all the components so much, but used a CAAD8 54cm frame. I think it fits me a little better. I'm 5'8"ish but I have shortish legs. Honestly, I like the CAAD9 frame better - it's beefier around the head mostly. It's considered one of the best aluminum frames on the market... and the Ultegra gruppo is awesome.

Anyways, it's listed at $1350 on CL (with the pedals). Will sell to NESR folks for $1250.

Based on recent experiences, though, I can't just hold it indefinitely for the first guy that PMs me.... it's gotta be the first person to show up with the $$. I'm sure you understand...

I will give you 1250 for it in trade toward this. http://worcester.craigslist.org/mcy/1646221429.html

I sold all of my vintage bikes last year in the effort of trying to simplify and downsize... Thanks though. :-)

I have a travel trailer that is in excellent shape. Same shape as the bike. I want 4500 for that too. Same offer. BTW that bike is friggin beautiful.

That thing's gotta be 13lbs or less.

Nice fricken ride!

i'd love it, too bad i'm not a midget.

good luck with the sale.

[slideruleracer]

Haha.. midget? I'm 5'8-5'9 and it's too BIG for me..though arguably only by a little bit. I always just felt a little too straight-armed and had to put the seat a little lower than I preferred.

It's a sweet bike, but I do think its a tad heavier than 13lbs. :-) I think it weighs in around 16.5lbs actually...

Still.....16lbs for a bicycle is pretty fricken good!

Wanna know what my pedal bike weighs.......even after spending almost 3000. Not 16lbs that's for sure.

... and I betcha he's got a pound in pedals. +1 for a solid bike! Lifetime investment... someone buy it off this guy...


can't be me... I ride a full ultegra bike too.
