Been considering the CAAD for a while and may have the opportunity to move to a CAAD in a few months. However all my friends are suggesting to consider a carbon bike at the price point.
The CAAD is a great bike and the frame is much lighter than I expected for Aluminum. I just did a ride on it today over some not so nice roads and it's pretty comfortable. I can't really imagine a CF in the price range that can compare to it.
The Tarmac on the other hand is stiffer and lighter. It really feels like it wasn't to go on it's own.
Comparison isn't really fair since the Expert is 56 w/ better wheels and the CAAD is 58 with stock wheels.

It ships tonight and I'm hopping to have it by Friday.
So nice... do want..
