Mine was HORRIBLE, it beat the crap out of me on the roads around here at least. I installed a CF seatpost to try and get some relief. The saddle actually buzzed ?!? I got rid of the frame soon after. It's well known that CAD3 is great for racing, but not if you want to take a long comfy ride. IE: I am not the only that has mentioned this. My CAD2 rode like 531 by comparison.,,,,BD
