However, there was quite a lot of seatpost showing, quite a few spacers under the stem and I know the CAAD 8 has a slightly taller headtube than the CAAD 10. Would the 58cm or 60cm CAAD 10 be the wiser choice/more flexible in terms of 'fine tuning' position wise? I've attached pictures of the bikes as tested
Thank you very much for your time!
Fixed your images.
I am 6'1" and wear pants around 33" inseam. Not sure of my true inseam. Anyways I was just fit to the 58cm CAAD10-5 you have pictured. I have rode about 30 miles this first weekend with it and it feels really good. Very happy with the bike. I'm not sure of your body dimensions but it seems like a 58 would be good for you too. Only thing I have to change for now besides adding a garmin and speed/cadence is going tubeless. I ordered the Stans no tubes hutchinson fusion 3 tubeless kit. Once my wheels go out of true I will consider getting some Boyd vitesse wheels.
