not really a poor mans bike.. you see the caad in crits on the regular.
by the time I add wheels my bike will be worth more than my car.
heh.. bad comparison.. I bought the car new and have been driving it for 11 years. but still... my point is it's not a poor mans bike. most of us have several thousads into our bikes even after initial bike purchase.
btw, am I like the only person on here with a RED caad9-4? I couldn't for the life of me find BBQ anywhere!!!!
I agree. I probably have close to $3000 on top of a bike I originally paid $1,200 for. Planning to upgrade the group next year to either force or red, so there goes another $1000-$1500. Sad thing is, if I tried to sell it, I probably couldn't get over $1000 for it, but selling it ain't going to happen.
