Is this a joke? I think the CAAD 9-7 uses a combination of Sora and Tiagra components. Mavic 32 spoke rims.
Bicycling.com reviewed the bike and it came in at over 20 pounds!
And don't give me the "could be" line. Sure you might get it under 15lbs with the 50cm frame, SRAM Red, lightweight climbing wheels, lighter stem, bars, pedals, well everything. Now you're talking a $5,000 bike.
