Cannondale - Superslice - Time trial bicycle - 2019

A rare opportunity to acquire an original **Cannondale SuperSlice from EF Education First, ridden by American professional cyclist Taylor Phinney during the 2019 season**.

### Provenance

The bicycle came directly from EF and its provenance has been documented.

I have written confirmation from EF identifying this specific Cannondale SuperSlice as a bike ridden by **Taylor Phinney during the 2019 season**, together with documentation relating to the bike's transfer from EF.

The frame still retains its original **“T. PHINNEY” rider identification label with US flag**, as well as its UCI frame approval label and original EF-era graphics.

The provenance documentation has been provided in support of the authenticity of the bicycle.

### The bike

- Cannondale SuperSlice
- Size 56
- EF Education First team bike
- Used by Taylor Phinney during the 2019 season
- Original T. PHINNEY rider identification label
- UCI-approved frame
- Aero time-trial / triathlon configuration
- Period team-era components and graphics as shown in the photographs

The bicycle is being offered in its existing condition rather than cosmetically restored, in order to preserve its original team appearance, markings and history.

### Condition

This is a genuine used professional team bicycle and therefore shows signs of use, age and storage. Please study the detailed photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

After receiving the bike from EF, I personally rode it only a small number of times.

It is not currently presented as a freshly serviced, ready-to-race bicycle. It requires some minor maintenance/repairs before regular riding. To the best of my knowledge these are minor rather than a major restoration, but any buyer intending to ride the bicycle should have it professionally inspected and serviced before use.

No attempt has been made to repaint or cosmetically restore the frame, and the original rider and team identification details have deliberately been preserved.

### Historical significance

Taylor Phinney was one of the most distinctive American riders of his generation, with a career spanning road, track and time-trial racing. This bike dates from his final professional season with EF Education First in 2019.

The combination of direct EF provenance, the surviving T. PHINNEY rider label and the distinctive SuperSlice time-trial platform makes this an unusual piece for a collector of professional cycling memorabilia, EF team history or Cannondale race bicycles.

Please note that the documentation confirms that this specific bicycle was ridden by Taylor Phinney during the 2019 season. I am not claiming that it was used in any particular race unless separately documented.

### Shipping

The bicycle will be carefully packed in a proper bicycle shipping box for transport. Tracked and insured shipping will be used.

Collection in Switzerland can also be arranged, which may be preferable for a bicycle of this nature and value.
