Hello everyone,

I found a 2011 CAAD10 5 105 at my LBS, but the price was a little higher than I was expecting for a bike that's about to be 3 years old. Is this typical with Cannondale? MSRP was $1,500. Specs here: http://www.bicyclebluebook.com/searchlistingdetail.aspx?id=22392

What would you guys pay for this?

Thanks.

    Maybe it's just the US model that comes in red? They were offering $1,250 USD + Tax. So sounds like a decent deal...

    My other option around that price range would be a 2013 Madone 2.1. Same components.

    Just noticed it is full carbon, good deal at that price, i would buy a Cannondale before i would buy a Trek, before i get lynched its a personal choice.
    Where in the US do you live. my son lives in Minnesota.

    Sounds like a lot of money for a 3 year old CAAD. It would be aluminium, al CAADs are AFAIK. I would aim for $1k.

    I'm in Kansas City. Have family in Woodbury though, twin cities area.

    Yeah, most definitely an aluminum frame. Would $1000 be below their cost? I didn't think the markup was that big on a $1,500 bike...
