Opinions of Cannondale Blue Racer - Triathlon Week

D St Collective · 07-07-2005, 02:08 PM

I am looking for an inexpensive road bike, and have come
upon a Cannondale Blue Racer (?) that fits well, and rides
reasonably well. It appears to be an aluminum body.
I don't know how old it is, but it has
Shimano 105 gear on it, and is in decent shape.

Anyone have any opinions about or experience with this bike?

The guy only wants about $120 for it.

Sounds like a good deal, see if he will let you ride it for a fairly long time, and if so take it to a local bike shop and let one of the pro's check it out. They will also tell you if this is a good price for the equipment.
Good Luck!

As you stated, it fits well, and that is the most important thing. A well-fit bike gets ridden more and is more comfortable. Just beware - it may be a good price now, but how much will it cost to upgrade in the future?
