Pieces of CAAD
Picked up my new 9-5 today. Was glad to get it after a 5 week wait ( it's from the March batch, I think).
Thought I'd post some shots you don't see in the brochure.

If the bike shops in your are are not going to stock this year, you may consider contacting C'dale. They still should be able to ship to one of your shops.

The only turn off on that bike is the Tektro brakes. We just got the same exact bike for my daughter.

Every time I see this thread I think it's about one of my BF Enemies discussing my imminent dismemberment. Say that three times fast.

I got the black on in February and can't get enough.
What lens you got for those photos? Looks nice.

If I am to believe the bike shop I called today, CAAD 9 w/BB30 will be still built in the US under CAAD 10 name next year. In fact they had one w/Ultegra SL for $1700. Which compared to a $1400 9-5 is a very good deal. I just can't justify paying extra $700 over the 08 Fuji team w/Ult-105 I am about to buy. I really want a CAAD 9 though
I for one would love to get my hands on one... we'll see what actually happens.
Tober- I'd love to see photos of yours, is it black+red, or the stealth?

Hi,
Great photos. I am planning to buy an 09 CAAD9-5 in white myself. Could you post some more photos please? Especially a photo from the front and side would be appreciated.
Thanks!
