Canondale Six-13
A friend asked me to build this 2005? frameset into a bike. He gave me a box of new and used parts for it. It is Aluminum with carbon bonded mid tube in a few places.. All Carbon fork/steerer.
I just test rode this sled, and was pretty impressed with the light feel and snap of it. Not to mention rolling over broken pavement with 95/100 lb air in 23C tubeless tires has a nice dampened feeling..
And it is pretty old really, albeit in good condition. Newest CADO I have ridden personally. And still a USA made frameset too.
New R600 STIs, 10s DA cranks, 9s rearDR, calipers[old 8s DA], my old DA Scandium wheelset with tubeless Hutch 23Cs. It is a real mutt, but light and easily could be a daily aggressive rider. I weighed it at 17lb [60CM], no bar tape with aluminum hybrid pedals. But after I took that shot so the weight includes all the cables/housings.
