Vintage Cannondale CAAD2 F700 Mountain Bike – Medium Frame (Shimano XT/LX)

Step into cycling history with this iconic Cannondale CAAD2 F700 hardtail mountain bike, a relic from an era when aluminum frames and rugged performance defined trail riding. Perfect for enthusiasts seeking retro style or budget-conscious riders ready for light off-road adventures, this medium-frame bike blends vintage charm with functional durability.

Key Features:
– Aluminum Frame & Geometry: Built for agility, the Cannondale CAAD2 aluminum frame boasts a 21.5” effective top tube and 17.5” seat tube, catering to riders between 5’5”–5’10”. Its standover height of 30.5” ensures confident maneuvering on technical trails.
– Shimano-Driven Drivetrain: Equipped with Shimano Deore XT RD-M739 rear derailleur and LX FD-M556 front derailleur, paired with an 8-speed HG50 cassette (11-34T), this setup offers reliable shifting for varied terrain. Gripshift controls add nostalgic flair.
– Vintage Components: From the Coda alloy handlebars (580mm) and saddle (130mm width) to Mavic 220/238 alloy wheels shod with near-mint Maxxis Holy Roller tires (26×2.2”), this bike balances originality with practicality.

Condition & Considerations:
Rated “AS IS,” this bike reflects honest wear: a minor dent on the down tube, drivetrain components at 6/10 (serviceable), and brakes/cables needing minor upkeep. However, its near-new tires (9/10) and lightweight build (24 lbs 3 oz) make it ideal for restoration projects or weekend trail rides—just bring your mechanical know-how!

Who It’s For:
– Retro Enthusiasts: Own a slice of ’90s mountain biking heritage.
– Budget Adventurers: Affordable entry into lightweight aluminum hardtail performance.
– Restoration Projects: A canvas for customization with authentic Cannondale DNA.

Note: No warranty applies—purchase as-is for those ready to embrace its character.
