  1. Can anyone tell me if this bike is worth $650?

    Slightly used black Cannondale frame from late 1990s..1998 I think...and BRAND NEW components. LOW MILES...Frame has very few scratches from being in storage for years but these were touched up. No dents and NEVER CRASHED. Everything else on this bike is brand new. New Shimano Soar STI shifters/brake levers which is flightdeck compatible. New Shimano Sora front and rear derailleur. New and rare shimano biopace 500 exage crankset (Double). New Shimano 8 speed cassettes. New Sun made in USA rims (quick release) with Continental tires (700X23C) and new Ritchey tubes with presta valve. New Cannondale brake calipers. New Cannondale saddle with cromo rails. New Kalloy seatpost. New Cannondale anatommic handlebars (44cm) with new Cinelli cork grip tape. New sleek and sexy Modollo stem. Size is 55 inches center to center and stand over height is 31 inches. This would fit someone with a height of 5'8" to 6'3". Amazing hard-core road bike that is very light in weight. THIS IS A GREAT DEAL ON A CANNONDALE!

  2. IMO

    NO
    you can get a new Giant or Trek (2004 being 6 years newer for the frame) for about $550. If you had more info about the frame it could make a difference...but any NEW bike with Sora will run you around $550 USD.

    Who told you that? I don't think so!

    Save your $650 and get a new bike with similar group.

    And this should not have been cross-posted here since it has nothing to do with TRAINING.

  4. Yup. Wrong forum.

    It's also worth noting that the reason biopace cranks are rare is that they are far beyond useless.
