Now sold. Road bike - Cannondale Synapse 5 (54cm frame) with Shimano 105 gears - ?400


Recommended Posts

This is a great, relatively low mileage alloy framed (with carbon forks) road bike, particularly for those who prefer a bit of comfort over pure speed (although it is pretty light and fast). I purchased it new in 2012 (I think it's the 2011 model) but the bike has been upgraded to add Fulcrum Racing Quattro aero wheels (cost new about ?250). They are on the bike (see pics) but the original RS10 wheelset is included if you want to change them over. The tyres have been upgraded for London riding and are now Continental Gator Hardshell highly puncture resistant tyres. The pedals have also been upgraded to Look KEO Classic pedals (see pics). The bike is in very good mechanical condition, it shows some signs of wear and tear on frame, but not very much as you can see from the pics. The rear cassette is quite new - probably about 200 miles or so ago as is the new padded handle bar tape. The saddle is new (also upgraded).


The bike has a relatively low mileage for its age (it wasn't used for 3 years) and has always been kept inside in the dry. It has never had any sort of a crash. It has been regularly serviced locally.


Rather than list the specs, here's some links to the bike original spec details (with some reviews) and reviews on the Fulcrum Quattro and original wheels...

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
