hi!

i need your help! i am from europe and i am desperately looking for a 2006 caad8 frameset. even this is already difficult enough, but i am looking for a color which was not available in europe. the color is the "normal" color of the 2006 r5000 (http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/06/CUSA/large/6rr5kdblk.jpg) and it is called "Jet Black w/Patriot Blue HyperHighlight (gloss) (BLK)".

any idea where i can get such a frameset in size 52 or 53cm? maybe even on sale!? :D please post your replies through pm. thank you for your help!

They pop up on eBay every now and then. I snagged myself one in 50cm a while back for a pretty good price. There was another 50cm one with a buy it now price of $325 US a few days ago, but then some chump decided to bid instead buying it.

There are several on Ebey:

Here's a red 52cm (http://cgi.ebay.com/2006-Cannondale-CAAD-8-frameset-no-reserve_W0QQitemZ170128558536QQihZ007QQcategoryZ98 084QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I picked up my caad 8 on ebay too, couple hundred bucks, and was new

He's looking for the blue 2006 CAAD8 frame though, which means he'll have to be a little more patient and watchful:
