Research used bike prices with that gruppo, not just cannondale, but other brands with similar frames. Research what it would cost to replace new. Put these numbers in your add.

Used bikes (at least with covid) were going at a premium due to new bike supply shortages. I don't know if that's changed.

List it on Facebook marketplace. Ughhhh... I said it. I hate it but it's really overtaken CL in our area. It will have the highest demographic of potential female buyers. It's has the perception of a safe place without all the CL creeps. I bought a bike for my daughter and I wasn't even looking for a bike, it just came up in a FB feed and was such a good deal I couldn't refuse.

Spring is coming. People will be looking. Use market value or at least 1/2 price off new as a starting point, but don't give it away. That's a nice bike.

Another option is ebay, or having your bike store sell it on ebay for you. This is how you will find the largest 5'8 and under male demographic. There are a lot out there. A friend who owns a local shop has sold many bikes for people that way. You can also sometimes get bike boxes from your bike store. Offer them some money, tell them you need to ship a bike. Offer them $10 bucks or something. We used to give them away when I worked in a store. They have to cut them up and recycle them otherwise. I cut the hell out of my thumb with a box cutter once. The mechanic out back will be glad to not have to deal with it. Cutting up bike boxes gets old.
