2007 Cannondale Caffeine F1 - upgraded spec - large - SOLD !

At the urging of my physio, I'm finally moving into the world of full suspension ( lower back problems and old age catching up on me...)

Can't swing the N+1 argument so unfortunately, my beautiful Cannondale hardtail has to go to a new home.

It's a 2007 Caffeine F1 which is around a year old. It's been upgraded a fair bit.....

Main upgrades are wheels and drivetrain.

Wheels are currently XM819's (ust) on dirty flea rear and Lefty front ( 7 months old - as found on the 2007 Taurine Carbon 1)
Unlike me, they are light, strong, fast and tubeless(!) they are also straight and true.

Drivetrain is all 2008 XT. Cranks 3 months old. Derailleurs, shifters, cassette and chain 1 month old ( not been off road yet)

As well as off roading, I use the bike as commuter and am also selling a set of 700c road wheels which were built specially. They are basically the wheels from a Bad Boy but were built with a Lefty front hub.

Basically it's bl**dy fast both off road and on. ( a lot faster than I am !)

The 700c wheels were a straight swap for the original Crosslands.... so

The standard bike ( X7/X9 etc. etc.) cost $3,500. The 819 wheelset +tyres+rotors+cassette cost $1,200 and the XT drivetrain cost a few pennies. I'm guessing that new, it would cost over $5,000 all up.

Happy to sell it all to a good home for $2,600. ( well, sad really but it's just something I've got to live with...)

Can send more pics etc.
