Cannondale Saeco 2000

This one came home in 2017.

The 2000 Cannondale Saeco is the ultimate symbol of late-90s and early-2000s racing culture. Dressed in its unmistakable « Total Red » team livery, this bike was an absolute icon of the professional peloton. It represents the glorious era when Cannondale shattered European tradition with their oversized American aluminum tubes.

A standout feature of this build is the iconic Cinelli Alter stem. With its radical, oversized design, it was the perfect aesthetic match for the bike’s massive tubing, becoming one of the most recognizable and sought-after cockpit components of the era.

Built around the legendary CAAD frame geometry, this machine was engineered for pure speed and raw power. Out on the road, it is incredibly stiff, lightweight, and aggressively responsive—especially when sprinting out of the saddle. It’s a bold, high-performance masterpiece that captures the flashy, dominant spirit of the Saeco squad perfectly.
