Cannondale Killer-V (Polished)

[mattwatkins]

Hi,

I have a Cannondale Killer-V dating from 1996. It has a polished frame and is in good overall condition with a mix of vintage and modern parts. At the moment, I really just want to know what the bike is worth for sale. If anybody wants to make an offer for it, I will consider selling. I've attached a single picture but put a full set on the web here:

I have some Panaracer Fire XC Pro tyres that I can swap onto the wheels. Some road parts have been put on to make it more suitable for commuting. At the moment it has slick tyres, a road cassette and rear mech. Here's the full specification:

Cannondale Killer-V frame (medium size, polished aluminium with black decals)
Cannondale P-bone fork (polished aluminium with black decals)
Front wheel:
Ringle Super Bubba hub (blue, bearings replaced a year ago)
Mavic X619 front rim (ceramic coating)

Rear wheel:

DT Swiss spokes
Schwalbe Marathon 26x1.5 tyres
X-Lite anti-theft skewers

Shimano LX Rapidfire front shifter

Some idea of the second-hand value would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the site mate. Nice looking bike.

Just a pointer, you need to put a price on anything that's in the 'For sale' section of the forum. Anything you're not sure of the price of should go in the 'What's my XYZ worth thread" found here

Good luck with your sale

Ah yes, there's another thread for this...

Didn't check for the other thread as I was too busy writing up my post .

Sorry about that :-(

Didn't think I would have much joy selling individual parts but there seems to be a lot of activity on this forum. I might consider breaking it up if it is worth more that way. Not too keen on having a shed full of unwanted parts, though.

I've put this in the "How much is it worth" thread. If the forum guys want to delete this post that would be fine with me.

bugsy the frame and forks if you split!

Hi, What size is the frame? How much are you wanting? Thanks

Price for frame and fork

It is looking like I'm going to split the bike up...

Price for frame and fork (including seat clamp): £250

There's been quite a bit of interest so far. Exact frame measurements will be going up this afternoon. I will drop the price over time if their are no takers, so keep an eye on this thread if it is too pricey for you right now.

I'll be listing prices next to some of the parts this evening. Not everything is going to be up for grabs.

Thanks everybody,

- Matt

Frame measurements

Frame measurements (original frame size = medium):

From the centre of the bottom bracket to the centre of the top tube:

40cm/16"

From the centre of the seat tube to centre of the head tube:

53cm/21"

This appears to be equivalent to:

56cm/22"

Note that due to the shape of the frame, the stand-over height is reduced and the seattube measurements come up quite short. Personally, I've always felt that the frame is a bit too large for me and that the riding position is quite stretched out.
