After looking at the above pic, I got to thinking, while I like then CAAD10's and very well might purchase one eventually, I can't help thinking that the '10s lost the 'classic' look, the familiar geometric lines and overall simplistic frames that bicycles in general have had for years. This is all in comparison to the CAAD9's. There's nothing special about the CAAD9 when you look at it. You simply see it and think, it's a bicycle, serving a purpose for a racer, a commuter, perhaps a pleasure ride (although I doubt it). I'm not out to spark any kind of debate, it's just a thought. As I mentioned, I think the CAAD10's look very nice, but they seemed to have lost that perhaps generic bicycle look (whatever that means). It's not a bad thing, but I won't be getting rid of my CAAD9 any time soon.
