Cannondale frame from ebay

[stephan-d]

Hi everyone,

I plan to do an upgrade from Chinese made non branded frame to Supersix Evo build.
In my research I found a very good deal of a frameset (frame, fork and Headset) on ebay for about 1K.
It is so much better price than a used frame that I can find locally.

Sellers location is in Taiwan and got long history of transaction.

My question is this a legit Supersix Evo?
Can anyone help me to verify please ?

is it ok to share the hyperlink here to verify?

You can get the serial number and check with Cannondale.

good suggestion, thanks
let me ask the seller

By the way is viewing from the picture will help to justify weather the frame is legit, not copy/replica ?

Di2 only and one has to wonder how and why its OEM new and not on a sales floor with a parts kit on it? Things are tight on the supplier end, forecast correct or you get fired these days. Not a lot of random product floating around. It's either broken, blemished or a test of production frame. Dubious

I would have to agree. 'Some' resellers of bogus stuff have begun to realize that offering their stuff for too low a price will scream, 'fake', so they offer for way low but more reasonable $..I'd be skeptical..

Miwa's Shed is comprised of a number of individuals who have worked in the bike industry for

many years and built up some great relationships with brands and suppliers. If you have any concerns please contact us Directly. Some of the items we sell are 'OEM' this means it was supplied to the factory without packing to be assembled on bicycles.

Sounds like it's coming out the 'back door', for whatever reason..blem, ding is what I'd suspect.

I could be wrong but I do not recall Cannondale being offered in a Di2 only format. Typically if it was Di2 it was also mechanical.

I just picked up a new 2018 Evo frameset on eBay from a Cannondale dealer for not much more than this one. I'd save some possible headache and keep looking.

*Edit* - I just looked on eBay and see this seller has multiple Cannondale frames for sale. That seems even shadier to me personally...

Those are the older design frames ie pre-2016 or 2017, and even brand new the asking price is too high.

In the UK you can get much better deals than that from an LBS if you ask around for their old stock Cannondale bikes.

Hard pass.

They had Di2 only frames, but I've never seen one in the team colorway, only the baby blue accented SuperSix.

+1
Not currently but C'dale definitely had Di2 only frames.
But hard to say whether it is a fake or not just by looking at the pics.

Oh wow! this is exactly what i need.
hope i can get help since I'm located in the Eastern part of the world.
I dont mind to pay the shipping

[r_mutt]

yes- that is a 2012 or 2013 model if it's actually a real one. pass

[bikesickness]

For what it is worth, I bought an EVO back around 2013 that was DI2 only and the color schemes in both eBay auctions were two of the three I had to pick from. Not saying they are legit without seeing the serial numbers but both colorways were available around 2013 and were DI2 only. That being said they were sold as complete builds with a 6750 Ultegra gruppo and not available as a frameset only.

What's that saying about "if it sounds too good to be true....."
