Cannondale people, not a general bike shop

RetroVelo is brothers Andy and Jerry. We've been collecting and restoring bikes from the 80s, 90s and noughties since 2020, and we keep a few 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.

How 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 show you what you're buying

Every bike is listed on eBay with the same core set of photos. The whole bike comes first, from four angles, followed by close-ups of the details, the serial number and the main marks or wear we've spotted.

Each eBay listing has the full details and condition notes for that bike. If you'd like more photos or have a question, just ask.
