Not vintage but need an estimate of value I've come across an approximately 1998 Cannondale Super V700.
Deore LX derailleurs front and back
Deore brakes front and back
Shimano crankset but can't find model name just an A like the A in the Altus logo
Mismatched lower end rims and hubs ???
3x7 twist grip shifters (only say Twist Grip, no brand name)
Missing rear shock (owner says he "has it somewhere"😉
Carbon fiber frame and aluminum everything else
Carbon fiber frame and fork look in good condition, no visible damage, cracks, dings etc.
I know this was a $1,200+ bike at one time, but what would it be worth in its current condition? My interest is more for the components than the bike as a whole but I need to decide if I'd be better off stripping the components I want and selling the frame and fork, or if I should find some decent rims and a shock, sell the bike and get the components I want. Is there a market for this frame and fork? I see complete bikes of this model and approximate year going for anywhere from $250 to $500 but this one isn't completely original.
I paid $200 for a beautiful, pristine 1997 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR hardtail, with an XTR rear der and Deore XT throughout. The bike retailed for $1800 new. You will spend a fortune trying to get that Cannondale right. I would not take it for free because once you go through it and see how much it will cost, you will be into it for hundreds of dollars.
