2019 Cannondale Slate SE Force 1 Large Gravel Bike 650B 27.5 Orange Lefty Oliver

Description: 2019 Cannondale Slate SE Force 1, Large BEYOND GRAVELWith its custom Lefty fork and fat-and-fast-rolling 650x42c tires, Slate is a legit road machine with serious off-road chops. From pavement to gravel to singletrack, Slate rails where other road bikes fail. A full-tilt road bike with legitimate off-road chops, the Slate brings a whole new dimension of hard-cornering, curb-hopping, trail-shredding fun to the concept of “road-riding”.BIG TIRES+SMALL WHEELS=GOOD TIMESMassive 42c tires on 650b wheels give you the the same roll-out diameter as a 700x23c wheel for proper road bike speed, but with unreal cornering grip, traction and comfort.FULL FUN GEOMETRYShort chainstays give Slate snappy quickness, while a slack head angle and long front-center keep things stable for off-road excursions.MAGIC CARPET COMFORTWith the big-volume tires, plush SAVE rear triangle, and Lefty Oliver suspension fork, the Slate is magically smooth over bumps and chatter.SURPRISINGLY LIGHT, SURPRISINGLY FASTDespite its burly look, Slate weighs less than a kilo more than comparable road bikes and it carries speed like a traditional (but bizarrely smooth) road bike.Good Condition. Please review photos for best description of condition. I tried to take care to highlight a defect in one of the shots. It’s hard to describe even. Not a crease, a ding, a shallow dent? The fact of the matter is that the frame tube walls are engineered so thin at certain spots that this sort of damage is common and easy. I’m not even sure how it happened in the first place. It doesn’t affect the frame safety or ride beyond the aesthetic from a certain vantage. This is one of the reasons I’m selling this bike. Quite candidly, the other downs besides the down tube are the rear mech. This bike definitely needs a new cassette. I’ve replaced the chain a few times after noticing some minor stretch but this last time, the drivetrain grumbled after the swap. May even need a new chain ring to regain smoothness. Also the Lefty Oliver fork needs serving and part availability and service pricing are factors. Sure, some issues but a pretty bike with a pretty starting bid price.
