Cannondale CAAD8 105 5 Racing Road Bike 2016 Red 58cm – Used.
This much loved long-serving steed has done a few thousand miles of commuting and triathlons since I bought it new in 2017. I still maintain that it has been the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden, but I have replaced it so I’m freeing space in the shed.
In the last two years the wheels, tyres, brake pads, cassette and chain have been replaced, and I have taken good care of it. The frame has some minor scuffs and scratches, but no dents or deformities as I have thankfully never had an accident on it. The only part that is actually broken is one of the bottle cage mounts, which I have super glued in place. All of the components including the drivetrain, shifters and brakes function but are a bit worn – mainly some of the chainset teeth are now a bit shark-like.
