No not really. That’s an antique. Unless you’re dying to own a 25-year-old American-made aluminum frame. It also has some kook stuff going on like drop bar brake levers on TT bars. I’d pay maybe like $250 for it. But if you race that, be ready for a bunch of senior citizens coming up to you talking about how they used to race on that bike lol

No way. Maybe $150 at most

It is certainly old school. If your thing is to annilate dentists on a bike that cost 3% of what they dropped at the Tri shop, go for it.
Otherwise hard pass. There are bikes out there that are excellent and timeless no matter how old they are. This is not one of them.

No, a lot of times with these old Cannondales, the owners are a little deluded about what they are worth.
Also is it 650B? If so your tire options will be super limited.

I sold a similar bike several years ago I think for $200.
Fun fact: On the exact same 70.3 course, on the same average power, a 2002 Quintana Roo (very similar bike) was about 10 minutes faster than my brand new aero bike.

My ass and teeth hurt just looking at it. The first ‘high end’ bike I ever rode was a friend’s thick ass tubed Cannondale crit bike in 1992. I am still not sure I have recovered from a pebble I hit at speed. I would pay $100 to not be forced to ride that.

Guy had an interesting approach, get an aero frame, and then lop as much air blocking garbanzo on the stem as you can fit 🙂
Would make a cool conversion to a fixed gear though, after first trashing everything above the headset, the fixie crowd would love it.

What on earth is going on with the handlebar?!
