Does anyone know if LBS usually do sales/discounts on the 4th of July? If not my holding off could be in vain..
Most importantly what's the status on the frames strength? Any cracking? I'm 215 lbs (Could stand to lose 25lbs
) and wondering if the are any issues with the frame breaking.
A) LBS's always look for an excuse to have a sale. Talk to a salesman. Tell him you're ready to pull the trigger on a CAAD10, but are looking for the best deal so you can buy accessories too (doesn't mean you "have to" buy the accessories at the time you buy the bike. It just wets the salesman's appetite a bit that if he/she works with you, you'll be loyal and come buy you accessories from them).
B) I don't see your weight being an issue with a CAAD10. The only issues I've read about is the BB30. Of course, this is it's first year of production with a new manufacturer in Asia. They may need time to fine tune their skills. You should be okay either way because Cannondale has a great warranty.

There are always deals. You just gotta hunt them down.
