This might be blasphemy, but to me paying about $1000 per pound to decrease weight is not worth it. The CAAD seems to be a great bike, so anyone who has it can do some amazing things with it, without having to worry about the weight too much (except pro racers maybe, who have reached their limit). Otherwise, this is a disease! I actually feel better about choosing a bike based on color and style than a 1-2 lbs weight difference. If anything, I would invest in lighter wheels before I decided to spend hundreds to shave off a few grams here and there.
