CAAD9 owners, could 28c tires fit?
Hello all, just scored last night my 'forever bike', a 2010 Cannondale CAAD9 5 Compact in mint condition for $450. I'm quite excited, always wanted one and this is a nice frame to grow with 
I had purchased Schwalbe One folding clincher 28c's and a pair of Campagnolo Zonda C17's that are due to arrive in a few days (for my other road bike until this deal transpired, i sold it and bought this one) and i wonder what my chances are that the whole package will fit. The bike has on some Michelin 23c's that look a tad big for 23's.
Anyone try this tire size on a CAAD? Some results online don't seem to be evidence based, just discourage it based on tight chainstay clearance and the front fork clearance. Hoping someone has tried it and can offer some insight on their experience with the clearances.
Thanks!
