That's it. My CAAD9 is nearly complete.
All that's left is the wheelset which I recently realized was odd.
Usually, the wheelset on an entry-level bike is the first real performance upgrade.
Yet I left it for last. I wondered why. Turns out, it was a combination of things.

1) As usual in winter, the sales were crazy! I bought everything at ridiculous prices.
2) I didn't see the logic in buying a nice set of wheels during a horrible winter.
3) I took my wheelset budget and spent it on a Kurt Kinetic Rock & Roll Trainer
(which I could use during the winter and on rainy days in the summer).
[Actually, it was less than my wheelset budget which was $600.
I paid $468. for the trainer, a mat and riser block shipped. ]
4) I hadn't made up my mind on which wheelset to buy until recently and am going to go with a set of Soul S2.0 SLs.

So, that's all I need for my CAAD to be completed and ready for the Spring.
As I type this, she's having the crankset upgrades done along with the pedals & brakes being installed.
And all just in time too since the weather is breaking here in New York and we're finally seeing consistent dry 40+ days.

(Crap, now I have to get new Sidis and Oakleys! It never ends! It never ends! )

I'll post pics next week.
