CAAD 5's can still be found, new, for $200.00--$500.00. CAAD 9 is about $500.00 used.

I disagree that the weight difference between the 2 frames is "a lot". And not worth the durability differences.

Man, this post is as bad as some of the ones on the NASCAR thread.

LMAO...I fixed your post. So Cannondale does not jump your @$$ for making false statements about their warranty. The only frames that fall outside of this are their freeride bikes, like the Gemini and the Chase.
I sell them.
