Cannondale Topstone Lefty 3 - Upgraded & Like New!

FOR SALE: Cannondale Topstone Carbon Lefty 3 — Mantis Colourway 

RRP: R75 000 | Asking: R49 000

If you know, you know.

The Mantis colourway — that jaw-dropping lime green and deep purple — doesn't ask for attention. It demands it. And what's under the paint backs it up completely.

-

Why this bike is different:

✅ Basically brand new — only 90–100km across 7–8 casual rides. That's it. The engine hasn't even warmed up yet.

✅ Flawless condition — not a single scratch, scuff, or mark anywhere on the frame. Zero. Showroom quality at a used price.

✅ Never crashed, never abused — all original warranty and serial stickers still intact, exactly as it left the shop.

✅ Fully upgraded — this isn't stock spec. Thoughtfully upgraded and meticulously maintained throughout its very short life.

✅ Cannondale Lefty fork — one of the most talked-about forks in the gravel world. Rides as good as it looks.

✅ Always stored indoors — treated like the premium machine it is, from day one.

This is as close to buying new without paying full retail. You'll struggle to find a cleaner or better-maintained Topstone Carbon Lefty 3 anywhere. If you've been hunting for a high-performance gravel bike without the new bike price tag — this is it.
