Sorry for not making this clear: the Allez does NOT come with wheels. (I guess it could, but they wouldn't be deeply discounted, since I had planned to keep them)

I meant "2 sets of Wheels" in point 1.b.

Need some room in the driveway and garage. Before I donate these to charity, I thought I would run them by the list...

The items below are for sale; make any offer greater than the tax difference I expect to realize from donating to charity, and it's yours:

1) Size medium Cannondale Scalpel: 2002 or 2003 model ( I bought it from a friend In 2004... unsure as to which year and unmotivated to learn.)
a. "Lefty" fork.
b. 2 sets of rear wheels... I've worn out the hubs on the rear ones, though... you will need a rear wheel, or at least a new hub.
c. grip shifts, Hayes disk, beater seat. Drivetrain has seen use but works without issue. Grip shifts are nice for trim on chainrings.
d. small and middle chainrings are in good shape; large chainring is heavily worn and best used as a bash guard, or to apply grease to calf.
e. Pedals and water bottle cages not included
f. Cassette not included

2) 2004 Specialized Allez Pro (white):
a. 54 cm men's aluminum frame
b. Currently missing front derailleur. If this poses a mechanical difficulty for the buyer you can source a front derailleur and I will intstall it.
c. Mostly ultegra parts... 9 speed shifters, cranks, BB and rear derailleur are definitely all Ultgra. Brakes are 105 (unless I have some ultegra around)
d. Carbon seatpost, carbon fork w/carbon steerer
e. Pedals and water bottle cages not included
f. Choice of one of several 9-sp cassettes, should you want one.

With a decent set of wheels, this is a good sprinter and a good climber, definitely raceable. The only reason I am selling it is that I need space for it and would rather have a 2 cross bikes than 1 cross and 1 road bike.

3) 1998 Mercury Sable wagon (silver). 122,000 miles. Runs fine. Sold only b/c I was made an offer I couldn't refuse on a new car.
a. Car is in decent shape with typical wear. No dents, wrecks. Runs fine. Passenger mirror wobbles. It was that way when I bought it 4 years ago, so I doubt anything needs to be done about this.
b. Best features: comfortable ride, awesome bike hauling capacity, complete tranny rebuild 10 or 15 K miles ago, nobody will want to steal it, you can actually change your own oil, people in BMWs, Lexi, etc. give you plenty of breathing room in tight traffic conditions.
c. Worst features: fuel pump will need replaced someday. A/C needs recharged or fixed, I don't know which. I didn't feel like paying to find out since it doesn't get humid here. Mileage is poor at about 20mpg (I do mixed driving, but little stop-and-start city driving) when racks are installed on car.

Thanks. Let me know ASAP if you think you might want any of these as I will be donating them late next week.
