A few years ago they were telling everyone why those very same design particulars made a bike INFERIOR to the CAAD9. It's hilarious. Doesn't make me dislike my CAAD9, it just cracks me up.

I'll ride my CAAD9 tomorrow, and I'll love it just as much as the last time I rode it...but I won't turn into a gibbering fool for the marketing behind it.
