you seatpost looks a little different from mine even though both have the c2 on it...i wish there was a timeline of the caad9 changes ...
It's a Bontrager Race XXX Lite OS stem that is produced by Zipp. Identical, but believe it or not, the Bonty is blingier.
As for the stock C2, I have no idea of what size I had, but I think it was 100mm. My Bonty is 110 and is better for me.
My frame is a 56cm. The post is the carbon wrapped c-stem, but the 2010's have full carbon for some of the OEM posts.
I was supposed to have a Sora fr der and Vittoria tires, but my CAAD9-7 came with a Tiagra fr der and Maxxis tires.
So, despite whatever spec a bike advertises, sometimes, you get something better.
