Do you need to repair a Cannondale road bike?
If you are coming back from a long layoff, I’d fix the Cannondale, then if you keep up riding in the future, spend some time considering if you want to upgrade and what to. It’s never a good idea to be choosing a new bike under pressure to get riding. Make sure the things the repair shop wants to replace are really needed.
