Info on a Cannondale
 

I have been looking into getting a decent entry level race bike. I found this cannondale for $500 W/Rollers and some other stuff, although i cant find any info on it as to what model it is. I have been looking at caad9's which are slightly out of my price range but i would be willing to save up if its going to be much better performance wise than something like this bike.

The photos tell you everything. The 2.8 on the top tube is the fame model.

I wouldn't drop $500 on that.

The steer tube extension is just silly.

Save up. Trust me.

There is no comparison between this frame and a CAAD9. CAAD9 7 would be around $850 and a ton more comfortable. CAAD9 is a decent entry level race bike.

BTW...whatever you buy, make sure it fits.

$500 is +/- $250 too much.

^^^ Agreed, even $250 is a stretch IMO.
