How much of a weight differnece is there between the CAAD5 and the CAAD9?
Basically, the CAAD5 was Cannondale's first frame to use system integration (integrated headset).
Diff between the 8 and 9 is stiffness, laterally. Diff between 7 and 8 was weight in the back of the bike and a stiffer seat tube.
Weight diff between the 5 and 9 is a lot....but it depends in the frame size.
