Cannondale R700 any good?

[Sebinho]

Hey,

theres a Cannondale R700 for sale at 500 cnd. i was wondering if its a good bike to buy and if the price is right, i dont know alot on the bike but i know it was a Shinamo 105 flight deck brakes, shifters, and gears, and Mavic CXP21 wheel frames with Ultrasport - Contiential tires

Thanks

Seb

Is it the 2002 model? (came either in black or Saeco team red colour)

I have one of these, and it's a good bike. Main things I've found are that the brake calipers are a bit flexy, and the wheels are heavy and not quite bulletproof (mainly due to being machine-built rather than poor components themselves)

Yeah i think its the 2002 model, straight black. yeah when i looked at the wheels they looked shockenly thicker than normal ones, but they had CPx21 Mavic which are alright

good deal?
