The bike looks like it might be a bit stiffer in the headtube and have a little more compliance at the stays, but I doubt you'd notice. Especially if you're not pushing the envelope in sprint power.
I dunno, I just like the way they look and it's a half pound or so lighter. I'm sure I could dump my CAAD9 frame for a decent price. I probably won't do it but it's tempting.
For anybody interested, here is a CAAD9 being sold in CO Springs for $700. Looks like a 2009 CAAD9-6. White with Reddish lettering. Just figured I'd share for anybody looking for a complete bike or a bike they can tear down and build back up how they want.
