CAAD 14 is on the shelves...

Three versions, starting at $2500-resonable, up to $7500-insane.

I typically love CAAD's - I like aluminum frames just fine...

But this bike is a bit chunky weight wise. Base model weighs in about 3/4# heavier than my (when stock) similarly equipped Emonda ALR 5. The mid range model comes in at $4k, still has alloy wheels and weighs +/- the same as the Emonda - which is 2k less. The frame on the CAAD is 1/3# heavier in the same size.

The CAAD 1 - $7500. No paint to save weight. 1x drivetrain - I assume for Crit racing and to save some weight - still weighs in at 17.5#.

All three have the same frame/same materials. $7500 for an aluminum bike is a bit nutty IMHO.
