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...

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
