Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Here's some pics of my 2014 frame - it's cool because you can do either seamlessly.

Rear brake cable goes through the headtube. There's a small extra slot right below for e-wire.



There's a hole on the back of the seat tube for the fd. Need to add a grommet here.



The chainstay cable stop unscrews and can be replaced with an ewire port.



The down tube cable stops unscrew as well..





And can be replaced with blank plates.

I bought this frame as frame only and I'm building it up as SRAM Force 22. I like the option of doing Di2 in the future though as I'm also building up a Cervelo S3 with Di2 right now - if I don't keep that frame then I'll move the Di2 over later..

Guess I'm officially a member now, found a 2014 CAAD 10 a few days ago new for just under $1200, had it built up and just got it yesterday. Took it out for the first real ride today! A little more than the 800 I initially budgeted for my first road bike, but I really wanted something that I could race one nicely if I decide to get into that.

I don't really know you, but I followed BW from the Boxer days and played with you once or twice on iccup (even I don't play much, I like your casting). Hope you tuned in to the Reunion Tourney on TL today, it was good. I'm isometric on TL (mostly for BW, and Blogs)

Interesting. Very few SRAM builds.

No MSRP included on the website?

The CAAD10 3 includes a Hollowgram now! And they kept the stealth option for another year. Two promising features. I've been looking into a mountain bike, but I'm second guessing that now.

Do you knoe if Fat Frogs has any in stock yet? I talked to Brian at Scat Bikes and he said he won't have any '15 stock for a while. IMO they look so much better in person than on the website. I really like the black/green/white 10-3.

I don't think Fat Frogs is a Cannondale dealer anymore. They only carried the line for about a year. Conte's has been a Cannondale dealer for years. I deal with Daniel at the Laskin Road location. I haven't been to any of the local shops for a while. I was in the Texas hill country around San Antonio for a month and just got back. I took my Supersix Evo HiMod; what a great bike for climbing

What's the feelings on the disk versions? Is there a weight penalty for disks over caliper? I might think about one of those next year

As long as the new Caad 10 SRAM Rival disc isn't $1,000+ more than what I can currently pick up a '14 10-4 for, I will own one! Are the '15's already being shipped to dealers?

I sorta want to call the local C-Dale dealers to see if they are getting the new CAADs in stock. Shame, I know, but most of the local Cannondale dealers are some of my least favorite shops. I wish the LBS in my college town stocked C-Dales. I'd probably already have mine listed for sale and be saving for that new Ultegra model. Anyone see any of the new 10s in person?

This thread was a few pages back, so I had to give it a bump.

Here's a photo I snapped on my last ride. The sun was rising over the country fields and it was just stellar. The photo doesn't capture the true beauty of the situation, but never the less, it's better than just a blank photo.

I can't believe all these people are complaining about the stiffness of the caad frames. That is part of why I love my caad. I live in a fairly hilly area and the stiffness of my caad 3 is a benefit when im cranking up a hill. The road vibration and feedback dose not bother me at all. Also one the guys that I ride with has a caad 9 and I dont think that they are as harsh but not enough of a improvement that I would need to buy one to replace my '97, although they are a blast to ride and would buy one if I found a good deal. Possibly ill find one of these guys that are to picky to ride a caad and buy one off them for cheap.

I tried to post a pic but BF wont let me upload a pic from my phone for some reason.

The weather is getting cooler here, time to look forward to the fall riding. I did a nice ride along the Maumee River in NW Ohio yesterday but the only pic I took was this one after the ride...
