Got mine up and running. CAAD9-6. Replace the stock 500's with some old Velomax wheels I've had for a while. I was coming off an old Bridgestone RB-1, which handled well, doesn't match to the stiffness and handling of the CAAD9. There. I said it. The CAAD feels, lighter, and although it does fatigue me a little, it's no big thing.

BUT... I am very annoyed, and thus ask for advice. I made the idiotic move of trying to replace the bottle cage with a cheapo plastic profile cage[don't ask why]. I crossthreaded the top bolt, and it loosened the fastener/nut from the frame! What do I do? I was thinking I could use super glue to fasten the nut to the frame, but that seems unbelievably cheesy. Is my beautiful frame ruined? I'm planning to take it to the shop, but the whole thing is just so embarrassing.
