Is it a good move to buy Canondale bikes online? The short answer is yes. Most of the time you will be able to find better deals online and saving money if you're on a tight budget makes good sense.

But there are a couple of things you want to keep in mind before shopping for a Canondale bike online. One of them is being able to get follow up service afterwards. This is an issue which can affect anyone buying a product online that requires follow up service. Bikes are no different.

For example, if you pick up your bike online and get a great deal, what happens if something goes wrong? Will you be able to go back to the person or venue online and get the problem rectified? This is an important point so if you can, look for those retailers who sell online and have a physical shop address as well.

There are no shortage of places to buy Canondale bikes online. Ebay is always a great alternative especially if you are looking for a sweet deal. Many times people will list excellent used bikes for sale and many of these are in near new condition. The cost of a Canondale can vary new from several hundred bucks all the way up to five figures.

It makes sense if you are on a tight budget and looking for discounted bikes and places such as Ebay can certainly accommodate you. Another way to get good savings is to simply type discounted Canondale bikes online into your favorite search engine.

Take a look at the results and if you don't see something that takes your fancy right away look for a newsletter or notification list you can get on with retailers. This way you can be kept informed of what's likely to or is available without having to spend lots of time searching for your discounted bike.

One such place is Bizrate which is an excellent marketplace listing products of all descriptions including bikes. They have a newsletter you can sign up from and quite often will either list a Canondale bike online with a discount or send you straight to a pertinent store which will more than likely list the deal you're looking for. It makes shopping online for a Canondale bike much easier.

Canondale Bikes Prices - How Much Can You Expect To Pay?

Canondale bikes prices vary according to size, style and status. Obviously a recreational style is going to cost less than a fully fledged racing machine for professionals.

It’s difficult to give you a ball park figure of how much your Canondale bikes will cost so instead, we’ve picked three diiferent bikes from their range to give you some idea of what you’ll be looking at as far as price is concerned.

In short, prices for Canondale bikes can range from as low as $500 all the way up to $10,000 and this includes models for kids right up to the professional editions. Here’s a quick guide:

Cannondale Adventure 5

This model is priced around the $500 mark and by shopping online you will probably be able to find it a lot cheaper when discounts are factored in. The Adventure 5 is an all purpose bike and will tackle just about any terrain. It features the famous Cannondale lightweight aluminum frame as well as the Spinner suspension fork and is described as a smooth ride. It’s a responsive model with a 24 speed drive train which is easily manipulated with one hand. It’s not called adventure for no reason and is at the lower end of the price scale.

Cannondale RZ One Forty 4

This bike is one of the toughest two wheelers you’ll ever sit on and will set you back a cool $2500. Again, prudent shopping online looking for discounted deals will usually prove beneficial. The RZ One Forty 4 has all the features you need to tackle tough terrains. But the great thing about this model is the ride is comfortable. There are not too many descents that can challenge this “little tiger” and it will get the better of most. The drivetrain can fire off the shifts in quick succession which is one of the keys to conquering tough descents.

Cannondale Super Six Hi-Mod Di 2 Compact

At the top of the price scale this machine will give you all the top acceleration and quick velocity usually associate with professional European team bikes. While it’s pricey that’s for good reason and you get what you pay for an more. Taking corners of any description is a breeze for the SuperSix Hi-MOD Di2 and it’s electronic shifting feature is cutting edge stuff. How good is this model and why the price. Well, just look up the results of the 2009 climbers section at the Tour de France and you’ll soon realize what a great reputation this model has.

Cannondale Chase Frame

changing bicycle frames

i bought a bike and i have noticed that the chainstay length is pretty long. i've seen that all new dirt jumping bikes are made differently for shorter chainstays. i have an '04 cannondale chase and i was wondering if it is possible to switch out the frame for a new one(Same chase frame), probably an '08. is it easy to do this?

any things to keep in mind are appreciated.

Well, it almost never goes according to plan, but some smart thinking beforehand makes it much easier. Sometimes little irritating things really get in the way during frame swaps, but since you're going with the same brand and model you shouldn't get hung up with that. I don't know about the '04 model, but check out the specs on http://www.bikepedia.com and you can at least find out of the front derailleur and seatpost are the same (I'd imagine that they are).

Pay close attention to the location of the cable stops on the frame, because sometimes you end up needing new housing if they're spaced differently. Also pay attention to the length of the head tube...if the new frame is longer than your old one, you'll need to jockey the spacers or get a different stem (in this case, it's likely to be the same or slightly shorter, however).

Other than that, just having all of the tools and know-how to swap components should be all you need. The headset should probably be swapped at the bike shop unless you have the proper tools. While you're there, have them check the derailleur hanger alignment. You'll have to reset your derailleurs from scratch, of course, and you may need to tweak the dish on your rear wheel if you're running a fat tire with tight clearance (the wheel should be centered as normal, but sometimes tweaking it a mm or two to one side is necessary depending on the alignment of the rear triangle). With shorter stays, you might be able to take out a link or two of chain, but only if you want to mess with it...your derailleur should handle that slack just fine. Also, if you don't have a good chainguide on the bike now, this would be an ideal time to install one. New grips might be needed, too, if your old ones are worn or won't come off without brute destructive force.

The newer Chase frames are pretty sweet...I'm sure you'll love it. I have a friend selling a very nicely spec'd '06 red Chase for $550 if you're interested...complete bike only, though, plus shipping. It's barely been used and has really minimal scuffs....nothing major (honestly. I've known him since he got the bike and he's never even put it to its intended usage. I'd buy it myself if I had room for another bike. lol). Drop me a line and I can get you in touch with him.

Hope this helps ya out.
