Cannondale make?!

[Chloe2630]

Hi!

My old housemate left a Cannondale bike at mine and has since gone back to America and said I can sell it. The problem is I have no idea what make/model it is.

I’ll attach some pictures, if anyone could advise me on the make/model, would really appreciate it. Sorry if the pictures are a bit crap or they’re of completely the wrong part!

Thank you in advance

You just missed the number off the 4th picture! It should say something like CAAD4, CAAD5, CAAD6. (CAAD = Cannondale Advanced 'Aluminum' Design.)

I have a CAAD5. My bike is about 17 years old so it would give you a rough idea of how old that one is. It might not be worth that much now, but they are nice bikes.

It is very small - probably suitable for someone just over 5 ft/1.5 metres tall. If by some chance it happens to fit you, why not keep it for yourself?

I think it’s a relatively new CAADX from around 2014. The year of manufacture should be on a label near the bottom bracket underneath the bike.

Frame size is 55 isn't it? Was your housemate a not very tall woman? It's quite a good bike, why don't you ride it?

It’s a bit later about 2016

It’s a CAADX 105 Disc 2016 Cyclocross Bike, they were £1000 new, there is one on eBay currently for £750 in worse condition, however I would say it’s value is between £650 and £750 as the market for late clean used bikes is really strong at the moment and that’s a really desirable bike for either a smaller female rider or teenager.

Nice!
The used market is extremely strong right now, you have a very kind friend who's just gifted you an easy 600 pounds at least.

Indeed, with factories around the world having been closed due to the obvious there's a shortage of new bikes. We're already seeing a lack of availability here and there, which will only worsen in the short to medium term, and according price rises.

If that's as clean as it looks and the chain and cassette, tyres etc aren't all due a replacement then I reckon £600-£650 strikes a balance between pricing it competitively so it'll sell, but getting you a decent return. If it were a larger size i'd be tempted myself.

Oops yes... 44!

Here you go. This will give you some details on what bits should be on it (although I notice your bike has different wheels to the one on the website). If you are selling it, people like to know about the bits. And yes, that is a very small size - short person or older child which may limit your market.

My experience has been that these smaller frames really sell well

It’s not super small, looking at the Evans link it has a 51.5cm TT

Wheels look original, here is one for sale.

Yep, lower spec of my old super x.

The market is strong right now, but I think you might be being a little optimistic... here's my ad (sold so not fishing!) for reference.

Wheels are the same. Tyres are different, also the saddle has been changed. Apart from that it looks stock.
