0?0?adsac]Hey cutters. Was that R1000 an 04 with a CAAD7 from or and 05 with a CAAD8? (Not that I think there's a huge difference between them).

What kind of road did you test ride you R1000 on? Just smooth roads, or some stuff with bumps and a coarse road surface? I'm looking at an 04 R1000 but I'm a bit concerned the rough roads around here might be to much for it.[/QUOTE]

It was an 04 CAAD 7. The roads were fairly smooth, except for a stretch of residential roads that were a little choppy. I also didn't see a little pothole that got the best of me, but it still held it's line and didn't knock me around any. My ride was short, maybe 2 miles, but it felt super smooth and begged to go farther. I put some money down right after I rode it. Can't wait to get it. You could throw on carbon bars, stem and a seat post. Then it could tackle any road you throw at it, just like butter.
