Cannondale CL bike
Cannondale R500 CAD2 Triple Road Bike
I just bought a frame and have been looking for a donor bike/ bike to ride until i build my Centurion le mans RS. What do you think about this bike?
Thanks
Chris

Seems cheap enough. IMHO, I wouldn't part it out, but then again it's my size.

Still learning
Just a heads up, the fd will probably have a clamp too large and check to see the brakes mounting would be compatible, nutted vs. recessed bolts.
Otherwise more than a fair deal on the Cannondale. Of course you can sell/trade for what you do need.

fd is front derailleur.
The diameter of the seat tube of most Cannondales is larger than those of Centurions.
ie: the front derailleur of the Cannondale won't fit on the Centurion.

That's a larger bike...will it fit you? You could probably buy what you need for the Centurion for $200....
Look at this auction...

It is not my auction… It is the auction number from eBay… You should be able to search and find it… It's just an example of what can be had for about $200 for group (minus hubs)....
