[Closed] Rize 1 carbon frame for sale

How did you come by that?

just the frame? shock?

Frame, Shock (rp23) headset and BB in white size large!

I bought it as a full bike without test riding it!! and it is too big for me!

So you have the receipt for warranty purposes?

Yes! as you will know all dales have a life time warranty! it was purchased from Evans cycles just before christmas!
any further questions on the validity of the post!

Cannondales have a lifetime warranty to the original owner. I.E it's not transferrable. You can obviously get around this if you can pass on the receipt at time of sale. Allegedly. 😯

I know of people that have got away with it but it is not bombproof! it would help if you have a friendly dale dealer!!

So you spent at least £3499 on a bike without checking it for size?

can I nominate you for a Darwin award? 😀

This one looks interesting...

no leftie?

No i did not spend £3500 on it!! but that is not the issue and no i have replaced the lefty with a pair of 2009 fox 150mm 32s with 15mm bolt! i have also replaced the seat post with a joplin and the wheels with hope hoops along with loads of other stuff!

Would you like photos!

RudeBoy> how the **** does this look interesting? i have asked a simple question all i would like is an answer!
i have often wonder why i have not joined a forum before and you people are proving my theory on them correct.

if you have nothing constructive to add please don't bother!

As far as checking for size! i went on the shop and manufacturers recommendations and as it turns out the bottom bracket stands a little high for my style of riding!

I! Hate! Overuse! Of! Exclamation! Marks!!!

Eh? Bit defensive, aren't you?

I'd like to see photos!

welcome to STW by the way! 🙂

Well that means you spent more. Carbon ones with a Lefty start at £4699.

Fitting a 150mm Fox would have raised the BB height even more as the Lefty on these gives 130mm of travel.

Which dealer did you use?

Yeah, me too. A mate of mine's after a decent frame, actually. Flash git wants something carbon! Might be just right for him.

The fox 32 150s are only 3mm longer than stock 140mm

Would you like photos?

Pete he said:

it was purchased from Evans cycles

How much has it been ridden?

Have you got the origina wheel set for sale as well

Still want to award you a Darwin award for not test riding a bike that has a current list of £5999

Would you like photos?

Yes! We've said that already! 🙄

On road for about 3 1/2 miles the tires still have the moulding nobles on them,

What you should have done is take it back to Evans. They are pretty good at swopping the used parts over to a smaller bike and putting the new parts on the large frame just as long as the frame you have has no damage and it can be resold as new.

The guy sounds leggit to me.

Easy to check, if you wanted to.

how do i go about loading photos on to this forum?

Just texted me mate; he might well be interested in this. Gonna need to see detailed pics, though, like around headtube, under BB area, joins, etc. something like this won't be cheap, and short of actually seeing it 'in the flesh', he's gonna need assuring it's 100% in working order.

Just out of interest, where are you based? Possible to view the frame?

do you have a photobucket account? that what I use 🙂

I am based in the north west if he has the ability to get to manchester ish i can let him see it in the flesh!

If you would like detailed photos send me an email address and i will get them over to you now.

adminAToldghostsDOTcoDOTuk

cheers

Ah, Manchester's a bit far for us! But if you send pics to MrNutt, he can send them on to me. Ta.

The pics are on there way!

I have been in to Evans and to put it bluntly they where quite unhelpful, not in the shop but at a head office level.

Have you received the photos yet.

not yet, let me log in to the admin panel and check if they are languishing amongst the xxxhotteens, homeloansnow and viagracalis emails! 😆

Cool

They are quite large hi res photos! and seem to be taking ages to load up!

sorry you may get them twice

found em!! uploading now 🙂

looks nice, so what happened with Evans? which branch did you buy it from, why were they so unhelpful do you think? (nice bike btw)

It was not the staff at evans they where great and did all they could but to cut a long story short the combination of Cannondale europe and Evans head office have caused me to rethink A the bike i am riding and the shop i will buy the next one from!

But i would like to say the Staff in that shop are great!

I think i am going to go for a Cove Hustler! if i can sell this for a descent figure.

Or an Ellsworth Moment 3

Cool! thank you so now people know i am not talking shit!

yikes!**!

que?

Que? what do you mean.

oh they've changed the swear filter, rather than showing **** it now says ****

so this business with Cannondale europe and Evans head office? go on, long stories are the best kind!! 🙂

Ok Here we go! On 12/11/2008 i picked up my "1st" Cannondale Rize after having my Rocky Mountain Slayer 90 (very pimped, Chris king XO, DT swiss etc) stolen 🙁

So i finaly convinced the wife to let me get a new bike 😆 So i did my research and decided on a Cannondale Moto1 , went in to the shop (evans) and asked to test ride one, they said they would sort it for me and a week later i had a ride and loved it.

So while i was in the shop ordering one i noticed they had a great deal as a one off on a Rize when i asked the guys in the shop the all said that it was an amazing bike and if they were me they would buy a Rize over a moto every time.

This through a spanner in the works so i went and did the usual research in the mags and website and decided that for the money it was a great deal and i would go for it, only issue was that i couldn't find a test ride anywhere.

So i bought it, but due to work commitments i didn't get to ride it for a couple of weeks! On the first ride out in the Peak i had ridden it about 6 miles offroad.

On getting home giving it a clean i discovered what looked like a crack on the junction of the head tube and the down tube!! The following morning (14/12/08) i took the bike in to Evans and they agreed that it looked like a crack and it needed replacing, But not by them as it was outside its 28 days. I was not very happy.

So it went back to Cannondale on the 15/12/08. After alot of phone call to Evans head office i found out that Cannondale had agreed to replace the frame but it was not going to happen before the new year! Not good seening as i had booked a biking holiday between crimbo and new year that was not going to happen without a bike and they were not willing to lend me one.

So the holiday was canceled and we lost our money, The head of Evans Cycles reaction to this was " you are not ging to miss much as the weather is going to be crap"

I finaly got my bike back last week.

After Cannondale replaced the frame.

this is why i want to sell it!!!

****me what a ballache!

I know its a large but what height would you say that suits?

Shame its not a medium, might have considered it, not that I need it after finally getting my EX9 09 which is a beauty!

i am 6-1 and i have got a 70mm stubby stem and it still feels a bit long and the BB is a bit high making the bike more scitish than my Slayer ( that i wanted to replace ) hence the other bikes i have mentioned, Any thoughts?

I'm 5.11 so I figure it'd be a bit of a gate for me 🙁

best of luck shifting it though and welcome to STW! 🙂

Probably abit on the long side unless you are after a real ass up head down racing style, but it really isn't that style of bike,

Thanks and all the best.

To be fair, the top tubes on Cannondale XC frames do seem to be around 38ft long for some reason.....

Very true but this is marketed as an "all mountain bike" the swiss army knife of bikes! 😀

nah I currenty ride a 16 Orange Subzero and I tend to be hanging off the back preying that I'll make the next corner! 😆

That's because you haz no skilz...

Have you?

'Ride'? Is that what you call falling off your Apollo a lot, then?

Dunno if my mate's going to go for this, as I suspect it might be a little out of his price range. He just wants a bling bike to pose on, tbh, not to actually ride. He's a fool.

Thanks for all the pics and that, though!

Is this frame still available? Pics and a price guide please to sheppie_hill AT sky DOT com

Pics? I guess you just clicked the button to take you to the bottom! There's some up there ^^
