to get off the paint this way is so nasty... :D did it once by myself... but worth it to do it like this. can't wait to see to see the fresh paint on the frame :)
this midnight blue again :) the best color on cannondales!
here in germany the v700 at the moment is offered from 90€ to 900€. i guess it depents on that person who will buy it. you can be lucky to find someday someone who is willing to pay more than 500, coz for him is it worth it and he knows...
just found something other interesting about prices... a guy is selling a CAAD7 R2000SI from 2003. it was sold back then for over 2000€ with original factory setup. and for several hundrets euro more he exchanged the original components with 2x9 ultegra-crank.
nice he has uploaded the invoice...

Once i got this roadbike in 2021, i was...
80$ is awesome... :) i would remove all the paint and do something new. a polished aluminum frame looks also nice. clear coat and go^^ maybe some original decals in black... had good experience with 'oxystrip' by scheidel. just put the oxystrip-soup all over the frame, wrap it into foil for...
would tend to a caad10-frame too.
if you compare to the linked fotos, a caad8-frame is it definitely not... also not caad9. and on caad11 the toptube is in the back, when it meets the seattube way thinner :)
to find out the production year is difficult without the original color coating.
thanks! would be awesome. maybe some interesting informations for others too :)
another guy who is selling this CAAD5 R500 on eBay told me, he has bought this one new for 1300€ back in 2005. it has a 2x9 tiagra-group.
it's just that what i was looking for. i got this one in 54cm in...
Just found an invoice of a R5000 on eBay. It was sold in germany back in 2003 with dura ace components for 5500€.
Pretty much, hmm? What was the price of a dura ace-groupset with 2x10 in that time? 2003 then it was probably 7800-groupset.
The R5000 from that time is a CAAD 7 Optimo, right?
in germany those roadbikes are sold for ~250€, more or less... rather less.
for training/hobby those bikes are still good ridable. to win races with this one you have to be very fit :)
in my opinion this bike is not competitive to roadbikes nowadays are used in races, even in amateur races.
Something i found are some guys discussing it on a forum back in 2007.
https://www.rennrad-news.de/forum/threads/cannondale-caad-5.24475/
There they are speaking about prices from 1100 and 1300€.
But with 105 groupset and shimano wh500 wheelset. a 105-groupset is descriped in the catalog. But...
hello,
last winter i bought a caad5 r500 from 2004 and since then i'm on research about pricing when it was released. can't find any good infos so far.
it was originaly set up with shimano tiagra rd/fd and shift levers. fsa tripple crank, seat post, stem. coda brakes. gipiemme t30s wheelset. a...
thanks for sharing your project - looks killer!
but you need to use red decals at the fork. really love the carbon-look on it. a black color fading from the top would look nicely too :)
cannondale + sram ... good team
