58cm CAAD8 or Soloist Frameset

[blacknell]

Not really the right forum for such a specific road request, but I'm thinking that some of you might know people who've been meaning to offload their own Cannondale CAAD8/9 or Cervelo Soloist (Al) frames. Really just looking for a frame to get me into the summer, but I'd consider bikes built up with Ultegra or better. Thanks for your time.

Honestly eBay is gonna be your best buddy for this sort of thing.

Nice thing is that you can search by size and maybe find something that you'll like better. Good luck. I'll keep my eyes open for something that might fit the bill.

Yeah, I spent too much time this weekend rediscovering how much I suck at Ebay (and had some serious "doh!" moments when I missed out on exactly what I needed). I'm going to keep at it, but figured it couldn't hurt to put some feelers out elsewhere.

Not mine .... from another list I am on, posted on Friday. PM and I will put you in touch if interested.

I have reluctantly concluded I have too many bikes (I realize some of you
don't believe it is possible to have too many bikes), and need to sell this
bike so there is room in my apartment for me.

2008 Cannondale CAAD9 58cm
This is the Cannondale mostly black with some red and white highlights
frame, and is not a BB30. The bike looks great but it you look closely I'm
sure you will find a scratch or two. This was built up from a frame and the
components are (at least in my opinion) rather better than those on a
standard Canndondale build. Since I know you all care about the details:

Ritchey carbon matrix 110mm stem (I have a 120mm carbon matrix if you prefer
that), I also have an older Ritchey WCS 110 if you want that instead.
All carbon fork (carbon steerer tube, not the aluminum steerer tube that was
standard on 2008 CAAD9s)
Deda Newton 42cm ctc bars
Dura Ace 7801 shifters
USE Alien carbon seatpost
Specialized Toupe 130mm saddle
Ultegra FD (FD might be 105, I need to check), RD and crankset (integrated)
with 172.5mm cranks (39/53)
I think the chain is Dura Ace
SRAM Red brake calipers
Wheels: at least two options... American Classic Sprint 350 with round
spokes (recommended for heavier riders) or American Classic Sprint 350 with
Sapim bladed spokes (my preference, but I'm 165)
While not quite the "weight weenie" build I have on some of my other bikes,
this is a light bike. Or you could buy it without wheels.
Cassette: I have multiple choices here including Dura Ace 12-25, DA 12-27,
SRAM Red 11-26, Sram Red 11-28, SRAM Red 11-23, and probably one or two
Ultegra cassettes.

Raced 2008 and a little in 2009 (I bought a team colors CAAD9 in early 2009,
and raced that instead). This has been a spare race bike since then, but I
have another bike that can do that, so don't need this one. The bike was not
always built up with this drivetrain, so the drivetrain has rather less
miles on it than the frame (and the frame does not have a lot).
Built and maintained by a bike engineer/mechanic who is more obsessive than
I am about making bikes work perfectly.

I think the bike might have approximately 2000 miles on it. While clearly a
used bike, the build is way better than what comes from the store when you
buy a complete CAAD9.
I can include Speedplay X series (I have titanium, stainless steel or
chromoly, all just serviced) pedals and used cleats if you want to ride with
Speedplay X pedals.

I can part this out if you don't want all of it, but am not interested in
selling wheels or cassettes only

Offers?

Thanks, Phil. I sent Ali an email yesterday about that, in fact. (Also on MABRA).

Screw that. THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170436664466&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AMOTORS%3 A1123) is what you need. ;)

Hugs and kisses,
