Well 1/2 of it is a CAAD 9.
Hey have any of you CAAD 9 owners had problems with the heels of your shoes banging the chain stays? I moved my shoes in a bit to get the pedal closer to the center of my foot and with the play on my Speedplay Zeros being reasonably lose I was banging my heel on the chainstay.

just squeeze the chainstay in so you get more clearance

The chainstays are pretty freaking wide.

Here's mine. Has an Arione now and Tacx Tao cages, and a Sigma 1606L with cadence. Soon it will have a new wheelset and new bar tape. Any suggestions on bartape colors? Maybe a new stem, who knows. Love it.
Yes, happens to me. I put some painters tape over where they hit. I need to do something better with them though.
Pretty sure I need to adjust my cleats. Could probably solve the problem.

This is my CAAD9 as it was before I got it setup. My camera finally cashed out, so no current photos. Specs below.
2009 CAAD9 BB30 team frame
Easton EA90 SL fork
Full Ultegra SL (except crank)
Williams 30s
Ritchey WCS cockpit (carbon bars and seatpost)
Since the photo, I swapped the stem for a shorter version of the same and lowered it, swapped the ass-hatchet Ponza for an SMP Evolution, and re-wrapped the bars in white.
Contrary to all the warnings that I read about an aluminum frame like this being jarring and uncomfortable, I find that it is at least as comfortable as my all-steel bikes.
I don't get any heel strike on mine, but I also keep my cleat float adjusted to prevent it.
