I was going to do the same thing on my caad12 once I'm ready to upgrade the cranks, probably to an older SiSL. Let me know how the process works out for you.

I believe they are all backwards compatible. Just make sure you use the 109mm spindle for the wider BB30a standard.

Look at it this way: For the same price you can get a 105 CAAD12. So the conversation is more about whether you want ultegra or 105—a discussion comprising many hundreds of threads on this forum. If...

What adaptor did you use to get the ultegra cranks on there?

If you're dead set on a Shimano crankset, it's probably not worth buying a CAAD. But the proprietary Cannondale cranksets are very, very good, even the entry-level ones. FSA cranks are fine, too, and...

Be careful; not sure if that adaptor would work with BB30a, the latest "improvement" (read: money grab) from Cannondale. The non-drive side BB is I think 5mm longer, so the Shimano spindle might be...

Bear in mind that Cannondale uses the BB30a standard, so not compatible with 24mm Shimano cranks unless you use an adaptor. The CAAD comes with so-called midcompact 52/36 FSA chainrings on the 105...

There is a thread not far down about affordable <1600 gram wheel sets. Vuelta lite is a good option, and I just bought a pair of 1485g Cosine 32mm alloy wheels from Wiggle. Not sure yet how durable...

On my 12, first upgrade was wheels. I already had a pair of Ksyrium SLs, so I sold the Aksiums on craigs list for $200. Then the brakes. I hate those Tektros. I got ultegra brakes of Nashbar and then...

They're probably just fine, but it's more difficult to set the seat angle as only one screw is easily accessible with the seat installed. The other has an odd plastic hand-tightener that is a real...
