I guess you can say. Well my question is any suggestions on upgrading bars, stem,
seatpost, and wheels. I got brakes which are ciamillos i think those are good and a
saddle which is sella italia turbomatic gell flow, well thats what the guy at my LBS
recommended. But your guys input would help to trick out my caad. Thanks!!
Welcome to The Cult.
Before upgrading, put a couple hundred miles on your bike. See what you "need" first.
(longer stem, shorter stem, wider/narrower bar, etc...).
Saddles, bars, stems, all personal issues. What fits you is the right choice.
We have a few CAAD10 Rivals here (in fact, there is 1 particularly awesome 10-4).
Check out their builds for an ideal of what you might be looking for.
There's really not much needed on that CAAD10-4 of yours.
It's a very solid bike as is.
Wheels, yes. Definitely upgradeable. You have to pick a budget.
You can get a perfectly decent set of wheels for $500.-$600. that
would make a significant improvement and be justifiable investment.
Don't forget...pics or it didn't happen.
