Why is there not a thank button on these forums! That is a class photo and a class bike! The two contrast each other very well! What CAAD is it?Is it a CAAD10, looks very much like one in my newbie eyes! How much miles do you do on it? Where was that pic taken?

This bike has been raced in triathlons, crits, and done long haul without any problems, and as recently as two days ago I rode it in a group ride.
Don't mind the dirty rims.
Yep, CAAD's are known for their good durability at least as far as I know anyway! Glad that you and the bike are still getting on very well! I will most likely be fighting with my first bike whenever I buy it. I will have to get used to all the bits and bobs I am not used to. But all will be well when I get used to the bike. I'd say it is pretty much the same with some, if not most people! But getting a new bike is also incredibly enjoyable! It held out for a group ride! That's the main thing! It would be quite embarrassing for me anyway if my bike just started to fall apart in front of everybody! Plus it would be dangerous!

Don't worry about not posting in a while! Better late than never! It's a nice 10! Ya, I will be getting my bike properly fit because it would make my rides much more comfortable.
