CAAD 8 57 cm geometry

[rilz]

Hey! This is my first post on the paceline. I am trying to find geometry on a 57 cm CAAD 8. I am thinking about buying a frameset. I am 6'0", I have a 32 inch inseam, and normally I ride a 56, so I think 57 wouldn't be too big of a stretch, but I wanted to read some geometry on the bike before I bought the frame.

My search came up with this, but the link to the geometry is dead. http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=123422&highlight=caad+geometry

Does anyone know where to find geometry on a 57 cm CAAD 8?

All the Cannondale catalogs (including geometries) are on the vintagecannondale.com website. For a CAAD8, check out the back pages of this catalog:

There are also links to the web archive, although those are more hit and miss (some of the links don't work).

I am your height and have the same inseam. I owned two 57 Cannondales and they fit OK. I eventually sized down to a 56 because I wanted more drop to the handlebars. A 56 with a longer (130mm) stem was a better fit for me.
