But even 'out-the-box', my CAAD was undeniably better than my previous bike.

Yeah I'm still going through it. I"ve added a full 2008 SRAM Rival group to it (Compact and 11-23), got the fit slowly coming together. And after finally having the edges of the original a$$ hatchet saddle blow out I threw this seat on. I have a FSA Compact bar waiting to go on, I'm thinking that white tape and red hoods will happen with that. Once the season starts back up a set of wheels for it and then I'm done. Oh and the best part, as of now I'm all in for $850
