Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3 Gravel Bike - With Upgrades - Quicksand

Cannondale Topstone Carbon with Upgrades, purchased in 2023
I have only ridden the bike 4 times. Lightly used, I have provided photos of the few scratches that I could find, but scratches are to be expected due to gravel riding. I upgraded the gearing so I was prepared for any terrain (future mountain gravel rides), but did not get the chance to try it out. I was given a 3T gravel bike, so I could not keep both, otherwise I would keep it, because I love it.
UPGRADES:
* Shimano XT rear derailleur - 1 ride on it
* Cassette: Shimano CS-M7000- 11/42
* Handle Bar: Ritchey flat top gravel bar
With these upgrades you will be ready for any terrain.
Color: Quicksand - I believe that was what it was called. Very nice!
SIZE: MD - medium
