Cannondale R4000si caad 5
Hello, I am considering buying a Cannondale R4000si CAAD 5 for around 350-375. However, I can't find any documentation on its weight. Does anyone have this information, or has this bike? The bike is from the early 2000s(around 2001-2003)

Does the weight really matter? If the bike fits and you are comfortable on it and want to purchase it is that weight really going to be a huge difference in your purchasing of the bike? If you really need to know you should ask the seller or have the seller meet you at a bike shop and ask nicely if you can borrow their scale. Without being able to weigh the bike it is a tough determination. If someone changed parts on it or it is a 52 vs a 61 that can lead to some different weights.
Though the most important thing is does the bike fit you? If the answer is no, it could weigh 10lbs and it wouldn't be useful to you unless stripping parts off of it but then you have a frame to contend with and it is usually easier to sell a complete these days.

The only way to determine the actual weight of a 20 year old bike is to weigh it. After that many years many of the original parts may have been changed. Even a different set of tires and inner tubes could make as much as a half pound weight difference, aftermarket wheels as much again. A lighter or heavier saddle can also change weight. Aluminum Cannondales were pretty light bikes at that time, but not quite as light as some of the carbon bikes being sold then.
