Patriotism can be complicated but so can Cannondale!

Upgraded my ride to this black beauty. Just picked it up today and even though it was over 100 degrees, I just had to take it out for a quick spin.

Supersixx Gen 5 Evo

Caad13

Systemsixx

Just fitted some Vision 34mm deep Carbon wheels that have some very subtle (almost invisible black decals).

Should I get some silver decals as per the AI image here?

I have this carbon Cannondale Slice listed for $400usd in Georgia, USA. It needs tires and tubes. Figured it would be a quick sell, people act like im asking a million dollars for it. What is this bike worth?

Hey guys so this is my Cannondale Caad8 that i want to share, really proud of the weight, 7.9kg including the pedals. This is a bike I bought when i was 13, weighed 9.6kg when i bought it and now Im 21 just getting back into cycling again after years of not cycling, really loving the bike and really did not expect to hit 7.9kg. The bike is kinda getting old for me and i still have upgrades coming like carbon cockpit and lighter pedals and zipp 454s so hoping it touches 7.5kg or less!

Specs
Caad8 frame stripped paint saving 200g
China Carbon Fork
R5800 Calipers
R5800 sti
R5800 rd
R7000 crank arm 170mm
48t Riro Chainring
Easton ea70 wheelset
TPU Tubes
Rs500 Shimano pedals

Recommend some upgrades (tyres, visual/sticker paintjob type stuff) Dont ask about the front break model :-D

Got this immaculate 2021 SSE frame 2 days ago🫰
Anyone here know where I can get hold of mostly a good 2nd hand disc brake fork (56)? I found a few listed but no size info mentioned but I’ll find out.

How light can u make a topstone with a Lefty fork?

I'm at 10.27kg at the moment, going sub 10kg in a week or two.

Had anyone reach sub 9kg?

Changed parts:

Carbon handlebar.

Carbon seat and seat post 195g

Magene p515 with a alugear 40t should be around 200-300g lighter the original.

Break disks are around 70g each. Original 116g.

Hunt 40mm carbon wheel about 1300-1400g.

It’s selling for $850 CAD. a few scuffs on the frame but in good condition overall. should I go with this one or cheaper CAAD 10? this one is kinda out of my budget and I’m worried about the durability as well. thanks!

Came across a few of these Cannondale Super V bikes at the dump. Just wondering if there’s any niche spaces or collectors who seek these out. I took one just for the components (XTR drivetrain worth it alone) but wondering if there’s any niche others are worth saving to anyone.

I’ll state the obvious - the design is dated and it’s a lot of work to get these back into running shape. Not to mention everything I’ve seen about these Headshok forks is that they require special attention and parts to service. I love working on these types of bikes, but I’ve already got too many projects in the queue. These just look so cool and are a part of bike history. Feels like a shame to let them go to waste.

So are these worth anything to anyone beyond part outs? Are any sought out as complete bikes?

Anyway, thanks for looking.

EDIT:

The bike in the first pic I kept for parts and it’s a gold mine. Cook bros cranks, Tri-align brakes, WI hubs and I think a syncros Ti post. It was clearly a very high end and well thought out build back in its day.

I’m gonna try and go back for the other ones tomorrow for parts, in particular that moto fork. I don’t have a use for the headshoks or frames, so if anyone wants them, send me a DM.
