Cannondale Optimo Cross.
I've got a LBS selling a used Cannondale Optimo Cross... They don't know what year it is or what model/class it is... but it seems to be a mix of Tiagra and 105's... And it may actually be my size... $650...
So it sounds like a great deal. And it's my size... But I don't want to buy this thing without knowing it's it's 2 years, 3 years, 5years, etc old... And I have no idea how good these bikes are.
Cannondale doesn't seem to list older models on their site...
This would be my first serious bike.. I'm looking at doing road biking and rail trails... fast..
Anyone have any input?
Thanks,
Ken

Since it's a cross bike, I think the people in the cyclocross forum might have more info about it than we do. Pretty much any Cannondale you see is really high quality. None of that big-box store crap (I'm ashamed to say that my bike is a big box store bike.).

Can you get a pic of the bike? I have an Optimo 800 in the garage now. You can try to use the serial number off the BB as well to determine age.
