But, your endorsement of the CAAD 10 made a lot of sense. Ultegra components and a bike almost as light as the EVO? How do you argue with that? But I can also use my carbon fiber EVO frame as a platform for significant upgrades and end up with a very hot ride 
. Also, Texas chip-seal has been creating sores on my aluminum riding posterior! This should be a little smoother ride.
