It performs as good as any entry level carbon bike (actually, better than most).
It's relatively inexpensive and is a great platform for upgrading.
It's aluminum so if you wipe out, it stands a better chance of not being permanently damaged.
Whoops, noob mistake... I do not have a road bike. I thought The cult of Caad went for all cannondales... I'm currently on the hunt for my first road bike and I'm considering the Supersix 5 and the Madone 4.5... But what you just said about later upgrading to a more serious carbon frame has got me thinking if I should get aluminum and then later on get a better CF frame...
