Ruh roh... That is a sensitive subject around here.
I used to own a CAAD9. They ride relatively the same. Only pros could tell the difference. However, what I can tell you is that CAAD10 is lighter.
Good luck.

Age old question, what size should I get? I am hair under 5'11 and cycling inseam of 33". I generally prefer a 55cm top tube which puts me between 54 and 56 caad. I know I should go sit on some and I probably will tomorrow but I will probably get something used. Seen a few ultegra on Craigslist for the price of a new 105

Just got a CAAD today. Its a 13 Caad 8 105, added a shorter stem 80mm and 10 degrees rise cause I am not the most flexible guy in the world. Love it, so sporty. Was thinking of Domane and it would compliment my Madone but just could not find much excitement in the handling.
I only checked out out the bike due to this review. https://road.cc/content/review/50515-...e-caad8-tiagra

Well done. That was the color scheme I was hoping for when purchasing my CAAD10, but all they had left was the white/red. I'm thinking about taking mine to a few Merckx style TTs this summer just to see how my legs stack up to real cyclists. How deep are those rims? The MO State Merckx TT has a max rim depth of something like 34mm or something, which isn't a problem for me, in fact it might help me since my competitors won't be rolling up on rims much deeper than my aluminum rims.

My around town commuter, but thought I'd post it for kicks since I was playing with these wheels I just got.

+1 on the black tape/bars/saddle
Maybe red colored hubs on the next wheelset?
Nice - this photo proves that older Caads don't die, they live to ride again, and again, ..
but I wished the straps on the pedals were off for the photo.
