You put a disc brake in it, duh. It says on their site that it's designed for a disc brake for your tarck bike. Uci won't allow them in road so marketers have to sell them to someone.

I find the lack of disc tabs concerning.

Hmm just got around to click about the product page and it's BB30 too... would be nice if they developed some hologram track cracks specifically for this frameset.

You've had one too many PBRs. That Technology ad copy is generic to the entire CAAD10 line, and only applies to some models.

Yeah, that fork is definitely not disc ready.
They needed to use threaded adapters in that BB30 in order to use the Omnomnoms.

I know, I just find it funny that it's listed under their specs for a track frame. That and the relaxed geometry makes me not very interested.

I kinda thought it should be drilled for brakes... because

You have to be honest though, I'm pretty sure the majority of them sold will seldom be ridden on the track...
like leuky says, no one is riding that on the track

Beautiful paint job on that Capo...

Wait a sec - don't Capos (& Optimo track bikes) have steeper forks?

Hmmm...

Nope, all CAAD5 track frames were spec'd with 45mm rake forks.

A friend and I were complaining about the ~1800MSRP but then I remembered we've got 10 years of inflation behind us :/ The '03 & '04 tracks with DA cranks & DA wheels had an MSRP of $1400, which in '14 dollars is $1750.

It is sad that a brand like that is now under the umbrella of a corporate behemoth.

GT and schwinn went the same way too... :/
Same mama-megolacorporation as cdale; Dorel is the VW group of the cycling world.

I know. For some reason the GT deal doesn't sting as bad even though they had just as much of a legacy.

I had forgotten Cdale made BMX frames for a while too. So hot.

This frameset looks so weird. Why does the headtube have a road looking angle?

Not that I don't believe you but man the Capo, Major Taylor and Caad 5 headtube/fork rake looks so different than this new one.

I'm seriously surprised they put dual bottle cage mounts on all those frames.

Hey that middle one is mine! Part of the visual difference might be that the CAAD10T has a tapered head tube. Here are a couple geometry charts: 2004 2009

Cdale used the same fork as that year's road models (I assume for cost saving measures) until '10-'11 when they had these heavy aluminum forks that look similar to something Leader used to make. That means that the '03 and '04 models has forks which actually curved backwards slightly from the head tube. Later Capos like '07-09 (?) had forks like in the top photo.

But to answer your question, yes, it is a Capo painted similarly to a Track.

It is, I remember I gave it, not the owner, one of my prestigious upvotes when they first posted it on ******s.

BAHAHAHAHAHA i got schooled.
Took me a second to realize that it's a tribute to its predecessors, not a Leader painted to look like a Pista Concept. I literally hit 'edit' the second i posted. Well played!
