Cannondale people, not a general bike shop
RetroVelo is brothers Andy and Jerry. We have been collecting and restoring bikes from the 80s, 90s and noughties since 2020, and we keep the best ones for ourselves. Our bikes have gone worldwide, from Australia to Singapore.
We are almost exclusively Cannondale, so we know which decals are right, which parts are period and what a bike is really worth. If we would not ride it, we do not sell it.
See the workshop on InstagramHow we grade
One scale across every bike we sell, so you can compare like with like.
Original or correct
Original paint and parts or period correct replacements. Light wear only. Ready to ride or display.
Honest wear
Sound and fully serviced with visible cosmetic wear. Some period correct part swaps, all listed.
Rideable project
Solid frame with obvious wear or mixed parts. Priced to leave room for you to finish it your way.
How we photograph every bike
The whole bike first, then the detail shots that prove it, decals, drivetrain, fork and finish. Every bike we sell is documented like this, so you know exactly what you are buying. The set below is a Headshok F2000.
The collection
The bikes we have kept. Not for sale, but they show what we look for and what we buy.
RV-001 · 1999 · 54cm
CAAD3 Saeco
Why we kept it: It's the icon! Super nice NOS frameset, original Viper Red Saeco paint and period Spinergy Rev-X wheels. It's the bomb!

Cannondale is the main event, but we love a great bike whoever made it. Alongside the Cannondales we keep a small stable of other classics from the same era, picked for exceptional condition, real heritage or simply being the best of their breed.
A few favourites from outside the Cannondale world, going up here soon.
Some are for sale, some are here purely for the love of it. Seen one you like the look of? Ask us about it.
