I have that same CAAD, the upgrades I'm planning first are wheels (with some tires) and crankset.
And yes, very upgradeable frame.
Thanks for the feedback guys (Alpha_Bravo,Shuagster,2ndGen)!
I'm all ears on suggestions for the saddle? What's a good saddle that I can buy which will last me a good number of years?
I haven't spun out on my compact but I haven't pushed it really hard downhill yet. Top speed so far was 38 MPH but that was with a backpack on with some decent weight 25 lbs give or take.
I'm wiping down my CAAD 10 after every ride like it was a porche/ferrari! It's absolutely night and day difference from the other 2 bikes I was riding the past year and half. As my mom would say "A little piece of heaven on earth!"...
