I have a Cannondale F29 Caffine Large for sale. This bike started its life as a Single speed and soon after I converted it to a 1x9. I have been upgrading parts on this bike when necessary and I have gotten it down to a very respectable weight, around 24lbs w/o pedals. I built the wheels up last winter and just put the Niner RDO seat post and handlebars on in August. Those RDO parts really smooth out the ride and are made to be compliant and flex to take some of the trail chatter away, like mini suspension. The lefty has rebound and lockout and is a great fork, very stiff and tracks very well. This bike is fast and is great for XC or for the weekend warrior. The frame was made in the USA and all the welds were smoothed down, which keeps the frame looking incredibly clean. The bike has always been very well taken care of and the rear XT hub was recently repacked with fresh Park grease and bearings. The KMC SL chain, the rear XT derailleur and cassette are also in great shape. I put a Raceface Narrow-Wide 32t red chainring on it as well and have not dropped a chain since. The Avid Elixer 7SL work well and the rotors are upgraded HSX, which help dissipate heat better, 180F and 160R. Frame - 2008 Cannondale Caffine F29 Large (can also be set up as a SS, via the Eccentric Bottom Bracket) Fork - Lefty Speed DLR2 80mm Rims - Specialized XC 23mm internal F, and 21mm internal rear, tubeless with stans valve stems Spokes - DT Swiss Comp 2.0-1.8 Double butted with black DT Swiss nipples, laced last winter F Hub - Project 321 super light weight, Red R Hub - Shimano XT Tires - Specialized Fast Trak 2.0 S-Works casing, set up tubeless Stem - Cannondale SI one-piece stem/steerer combo Handlebars - Niner RDO 780mm green Grips - Ergon GA1 Brakes - Avid Elixer 7 SL with upgraded HSX rotors, 180F and 160R R Shifter - Shimano XT R Derailleur - Shimano XT Cassette - Shimano XT 9 speed, 11-32 Crankset - Truvativ FireX 175mm Chainring - Raceface Narrow-Wide 32t Red Chain - KMC X9SL Gold Seat post - Niner RDO Seat post collar - Salsa Lock on, Red Saddle - WTB Pure V Like I said nearly every part of this bike has been upgraded to be lighter and better. Its sad to see it go but time for me to move on and start a new project. Who every buys this bike will be amazed at how clean it is. Let me know if you have any questions. Since I wont have to pack or ship it, the price is $1400!! I will also include an extra derailleur hanger and a few replacement spokes. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to take it out for a test ride.
