Agreed. My go-to bike for longer rides is a CAAD 9 with CF fork and bars. Not harsh at all and climbs like a mountain goat. (That's with 23mm Bontrager hard case Race Lites at 100 & 110psi). Al is a-okay by me.
Great score, ThirdCog. I'm sure you'll be more than pleased with your decision to pick it up. I'm surprised that it stayed available on CL for days. Enjoy!
