Bikes: 2013 CAAD10-2

- some low-life stole my wife's 2006 CAAD8 (which she loved) out of our garage because we left it open for about an hour
- naturally, the low-life ignored my aging 2005 Allez that I had been hoping to get rid of after 8 years getting my money out of it
- we live in Houston, in Washington Corridor area ... hipsters and low-life scumbags all over this place, they're indistinguishable BTW
- decided to replace both bikes with some keepers
- Statefarm gave us $1500 for the CAAD8 (full replacement insurance FTW)
- sold the Allez on Craigslist for $250 in literally 2 hours
- bought a Men's 2014 CAAD10 Ultegra and a Women's 2014 CAAD10 Ultegra ... both in black
- out the door with tax and 2 pairs of Shimano 6800 Ultegra pedals for under $5000
- received the bikes 2 weeks ago
- rained last 2 weekends, naturally
- got frustrated and decided to bust out the trainer and have a little pre-winter indoor fun and watch some football
- grabbed some pics of mine while she's nice and shiny (the parts that aren't matte black anyway)
- completely in love with the bike, but dying to get out on the road when it isn't wet
- only planned upgrades are two sets of RS81-C24s for me and the mrs
- hope you enjoy the pics, I've enjoyed eyeballin' everyone else's





Horror story turned happy ending ..... Glad that Statefarm came through for you.

And that bike is b!tchin!!!!!!!
