Just bought this, it's a 2016 Cannondale Caad8 2nd hand.
Link to specifications (not the seller): https://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/bikes/road-racing-bikes/cannondale-caad8-105-5-racing-road-bike-2016-red__9160
The non-original parts are the wheels and tyres which are now Mavic Aksuims and Schwalbe Marathon Plus’s which I've been told have both done approximately 300 miles.
Oh and the pedals are Shimano M520s.
I mainly bought it for parts: the wheels, handlebars and shifters as I want to switch to drop downs and I also needed a new wheelset and had my eye on Mavic Aksuims.
The frame is 50cm which makes it small but that didn't concern me too much as I was going to just have the best parts of it then sell the rest. Now that I have it though I was wondering, should I still do that (strip it) or try it out for abit? Gears and brakes work fine.
It's a perfectly ok bike with a few scrapes and just 2cm short of my height bracket.
[Also I appreciate the photo is crap, new phone: terrible camera. But with the exception of what's mentioned above it's all stock with the usual scratches and scrapes you might find with a 2nd hand bike]
