Why is your (or any) CAAD9 so awesome?
Ok, I know I'm flouting all the rules of the other post about "do your homework" before asking a noob question. Actually, I've seen the CAAD9 love all over these forums for months already, and am seriously considering it as I'm in the market for a pure roadbike. (Yes, I only own a TT bike now.)
What's so awesome about the CAAD9, anyway? Would appreciate any objective evidence or comparative experience.
(My other main alternative I'm considering is the Immortal Pro BD bike (gasp), but if my LBS has any good deals, I will consider those bikes as well.) Of course, if the CAAD9 or any similar bike doesn't quite fit me right, I'll move to others.
The plusses I've seen before about the CAAD9 are:
- Was made in the US
- Race-tested frame
- Pretty good reputation
