CANNONDALE CAD3 Silk Road – Paris Roubaix bike of Mario SCIREA (Team SAECO 1997)

In 1990s Cannondale achieved the distinction and goal of becoming the first high-volume producer of aluminum frames, at a time when only steel frames were mass-produced and aluminum was handmade in low volumes. Cannondale marketed subsequent frames with the CAAD designation (for “Cannondale Advanced Aluminum Design”) which first appeared in their mountain bike frame series.

Saeco was the name of very successful Italian road bicycle racing team, sponsored by the company with the same name. A stars like Mario Cipollini, Francesco Casagrande, Cadel Evans, Paolo Salvodelli, Mario Scirea rode on Cannondale  bicycles in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Here we are proudly presenting Cannondale Cad3 Silk Road, authentic bike of Mario Scirea (Team Saeco 1997). The bike was made for Paris Roubaix ’97 race, equipped with special Head Shox system to absorb cobblestones vibrations. Original paint and original setup, marked with “SCIREA” under the bottom bracket. A real eye-catcher.
