Does anyone have one for sale?
To fit someone who is about 5'11, so not me! If you do, let me know and I'll forward details on. |

I might (actually, probably will) sell my yellow Condor, even if I wouldn't like to...
I think I am more on the 6'2 side, so the bike could be a bit too big for a 5'11, but my saddle is very high at the moment and I am finding the handlebars being a bit too low, so the frame might fit somebody a bit shorter than me.
If you think your friend might be interested give me a shout!  |

I am looking for a winter bike as well, so if anyone else is selling one for similiar dimensions (size 56 frame) please do let me know.

Get your own thread 
I was actually thinking Diego's bike (Gav's old one) might be alright for you, maybe if it doesn't work out with my friend, or Diego has a preference of future owner, you could look at it.
In any case, I don't think Diego is going to sell it until he gets his new one. |

I have a Cannondale Synapse, it cost about 1500 a couple of years ago, but I am open to reasonable offers.
Its a carbon-fibre frame with Ultegra kit mostly.
Its not been used much, because its actually slightly large for me (I am 5' 10") , but it might be perfect for someone 5' 11". |

If Roger's bike was going for the same price as that Fuji, I'd stretch my legs and buy it!
Roger, I'll pass the details onto my friend as Diego's bike might not be available for a short while yet.
How much use has it had and any views what "reasonable offers" would equate to? £1k? Half price? Free? |

I've read excellent reviews about the latest Synapse and guess that the previous model cannot be too bad...
Moreover Cannondale is a well respected brand (they also look cool! )
If the price is right and the frame fits you, I'd go the Synapse way (against my own interest).
Otherwise, my yellow Condor should be available by the middle of February (fingers crossed) and would probably be a cheaper (but worse performing) option. |

I guess I was thinking around £1k.
I really haven't used it much as shortly after I got it I rebuilt an old bike that just fits me better - and I have a winter bike too, so its not seen a lot of bad weather. Its been used for a few triathlons (its currently set up with tribars) and a handful of summer rides.
Its a nice frame, decent kit (Ultegra), and decent wheels (Mavic Ksyrium). The only blemish is a bit of paintwork damage around the headset where I had an accident with an adjustable stem. |

Should it have depreciated by more? I thought it sounded reasonable.
Unfortunately, my friend's budget is around £500, but thank you Roger. |
