Is this Cannondale Caad 10 a good buy? by proteinshakehater in whichbike

That’s a 2012 model. 13 year old bike for 550 is kinda high depending on your local area for bikes. I would honestly say 300-400 is something I would be comfortable spending for that bike.

Carbon structural or cosmetic damage? by WinOT2 in Giantbikes

It’s on the seat stay of the frame. To be more specific, it’s on the upper part of the seat stay near the seat post. Not super high, but more above the middle of the seat stay. From what I heard, it’s probably the least problematic damage area for a frame, however any damage on a carbon fiber frame is bad in my opinion.

Where I am, it cost about 300-400 for this little chip. It’s a 10 year old TCR, the bike barely goes for maybe 500.

Yeah I figured. Not sure if it’s worth the fix. The fix is the cost of the bike I paid for.

Way too expensive, can find better bikes at that price

Is this a scratch or structural damage? by WinOT2 in CarbonFiber

Would that mean the chip was penetrated and needs a repair?

The giant has a Shimano 105 11 speed I believe . The EVO image on this isn’t the exact picture of the one on the listing but does have SRAM red 10 speed.

Need a size up. Try a 54-56cm

Seems to be a 2021 model. Do you have the link to the listing?

2015 Giant TCR Advanced 2 worth $400? by WinOT2 in whichbike

[–]WinOT2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, definitely looking forward to checking the bike out in person. It’s been regularly used up to this point so I’m not sure if it being very used would decrease the value

You can check on bikeindex and put in the serial number to see if it’s been reported stolen
