    Hi - I have a black 1200 MK3 sat in a cupboard if that interests you at all? The only thing is that it's a Japanese version (have a decent transformer to go with it). Bought from Echigoya Music in Tokyo. I've read that by using the transformer, there is actually a more consistent supply than just plugged into the mains? Could be absolute rubbish though!

    I've been using a different silver Japanese 1200 with a transformer daily for a few years with no issues.

    Tbh looks like secondhand high end rim brake bikes are having a meltdown with prices 80-90% off rrp.

    A great time to be alive tbph.

    These frames were £4,400 (rrp) new. Full build yours for £550. And he’s accepting offers. Would make a serious crit weapon.

    The seller doesn't mention the frameset brand anywhere. It's a fake (and they are aware).

    Cannondale's geometry is whack. Plus they use lots of their own 'standards', which makes replacing anything more challenging than it really ought to be.

    Care to expand upon this? (not being snarky). Geo seems fine to me?

    no1 should buy a cannondale

    How is a well tested, mass-manufacturing Cannondale any different to a well-tested, mass-manufacturing Trek? Apart from the Trek brand dorkiness.

    Thanks and fully aware of the time issues. The space for the Turbo is non-negotiable for this reason (parents with good physical and mental health will surely help...)

    I have 2 x wheelsets and 1 x group etc that will be swapped over to the new bike. I would transfer the group on the SSSE to my existing gravel bike that I am bored of and sell it.

    TT will be kept for the turbo, along with this do-it-all bike. The remaining 6 will have to find a home :(

    Edit: live abroad and limited choice to try things, would have to order from the UK and ship.

    The solution to this is a Crux. You need to come out of denial.

    They are approx 50% more expensive. Also, for some reason, I just don't like them visually. There's something about the tube shape and paint that faintly whispers Marmite jersey.

    Does anybody have a Supersix SE?

    Impending baby arrival means losing a precious bike storage room and I might have to go down the mythical one bike for everything route. Need something light(ISH) and fairly racy for road stuff, but also with capability to do lux gravel (mud not an issue where I am). I don't want a Crux.

    Geo and price on Supersix SE work, and it takes up to 45mm which is enough for me. Any reason not to buy?
