Did I miss something? Is the CAAD10 frameset $500 cheaper than the CAAD9?
Nope.
Is it even $1 cheaper? Hell, it's probably more expensive.

The whole "people won't pay it" argument is crap. Products don't get cheaper when production is offshored. Quality changes, lead times change, but the price to the consumer for an "identical" product - nope.
