My Dad is now 80, and unfortunately 2 years ago had heart issues and last week ended up in hospital with arrhythmia. Hi owns the bike below and also an Orbea Ebike. I think he has now realised that he needs to sell the Cannondale and has asked me to do so.
The only bikes I have sold in the last 10 years have been kids bikes, and the market is quite stable and prices easy to judge, Ive sold 3 on Facebook.
This is quite a unique nice bike in many ways so I have no idea where to list or what as, and what value? It is absolutely mint condition though.
From my Dad
The bike is Cannondale Quick Carbon 2 Disc. Shimano Sora.
Bought in January 2017 £1400. No idea about price to ask, have tried to find examples online and got nowhere.
Seems sensible to try to sell

Completed listings on ebay imply £300-500 depending on model, the 2 being up the higher end, or so.
I hear stealth ads work well 😉
Honestly, with the market at the moment I'd stick that up for £1200 on a few places and see who bites. Decent bikes are literally selling straight away right now, you can always drop the price if no one is interested.
Edit: maybe a bit less than £1200, but start high.
I hear stealth ads work well 😉
That honestly isnt my thought! I wouldnt list on the classifieds here anyhow as no one appears to know how to use it (certainly I have had zero interest) when stuff has sold instantly on FaceBook
Is ebay still worth listing or is there an alternate place? Last time I sold a bike there about 15 yrs ago the fees were about £150 and the process was painful being messed around by people
If you put it on ebay wait till they are doing a £1 final fee offer. Seem to come round quite frequently.
Looks to be in v.nice condition so as above. Ebay, wait for £1 listing offer and price high but take offers and see who bites (unless you're in a rush obvs).
As you've mostly committed to the stealth ad, could you add gearing, size and location info (wondering if my mrs might like it......)
Nothing much to add except i hope i'm riding bikes as cool as that one when i'm that age..
If it's any use, a couple of weeks back I sold an immaculate 2014 Spesh hybrid type thing for an ageing neighbour. RRP was 1200, basically never ridden.
I listed it on Facebook and it sold in a day (collection only) for £500 cash. No fees no hassle. He was well happy with that.
If you want a quick sale I'd try similar. If you want best buck then eBay and offer delivery. I've got a bike on there now and it looks like I might make a profit!
I'd reckon (it looks in decent nick) at least 650-700 for that. £1 listing day, job jobbed. Just watch out for overseas bidders.
eBay, wait for a £1 Final Value Fee offer, and offer shipping @ £45 - I think you'd be unlucky to get less than £900 for that in the current climate, maybe over £1k.
Frame size and location OP?
I’ve just sold various bits on FB marketplace. Bike stuff continues to sell like hot cakes.
FB marketplace...
Clean it up (though looks clean)
Decent photos
Write a good spec list
Collection only
List it for £850 and I reckon it'll sell pretty sharpish
DrP
(Oh..be prepared for absolute MUPPETS messaging you..."wud you swop for some gim waits and a drum kit.."??)
Just watch out for fake bank notes when selling on FB market place. Quite a lot of stories locally of and I quote "traveller type" people passing fake notes.
expect the thousand "is this still available?" messages, yes it is...... silence 🙄
I hope your old man is on the mend 👍🏻
I might be interested depending on size and price etc. as well.
Just sold it for £900 on Facebook
