Yes, that would be with out pedals and cages. I like to call that "shop weight".

Lol...my System would be 14.5lbs at "shop weight".

I'm really digging the slammed upright stem. Looks clean and practical. Makes a lot more sense than having a downward stem with a bunch of spacers underneath -which I used to have on my Salsa La Raza.

Deep profile wheels on:

[QUOTE=JoeyC68;13645454]I replaced my "hunting safety" orange bar tape with some black Fizik tape. I like it and think it gose with my bike well.QUOTE]

When I first saw this colour scheme I didn't like it, but its grown on me. I like that you changed the tape to black, I think it balances having too much colour. Overall, looks nice!

[golf clap]
VERY nice.
I like it.

Mine would be in the high 15's. :D

(as far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't have pedals, it's not a bike...it's still in the process of being built)

Spooky, you have to throw some pink on that fork.
Maybe just a subtle pinstripe around the outside of
the oval graphic surrounding the lettering "Premium"?

[QUOTE=ARE.;13659220]Thanks! Yes, I think the black tape keeps the whole package from being overwhelming. The grey fizik print matches the that of the shifters, stem, and seatpost.

Thinking of selling my CAAD9-7 BBQ black, full rival, fulcrum 7, specialized toupe saddle, original seat post and fork. I have no idea what i shold sell the bike for, definitely not what I would like to get. I think I should keep it and put it in my bike museum.

Problem is I love my BMC, and I want another one. Wife won't let me get a 3rd road bike.

Maybe I should sell the wife?

Better delete this post before 2ndGen sees it. He's gonna kill you.

How Low Can You Go, Answered
 

A few posts back we were talking about just how light a "weight weenie" could take a CAAD10. The link is to a September, 2010 peice that Velo News ran. Take a look at the 15 pictures that acompany the ariticle. For the product launch - Cannondale built a "not for sale" CAAD10 Ultimate. It came in at 6.3 kilos (13.88 lbs). Quite impressive IMO. I also very much like the balck paint/graphics. A very stealth touch and one I wish was available. Some of you may have seen this article, if so: sorry to rehash. Enjoy folks:

This Cannondale CAAD10 was built with the not-for-sale Ultimate all-aluminum package. It weighed just 6.3 kilograms.

Agreed.

The black/black is available. It is 10-1 frame.

Pulled the trigger on one of these in 54cm:

I kind of like the gray accents in the 2012 model, but I don't think I could've waited any longer >_<:

The top cap is interesting, to say the least. Definitely different than what I'm used to on my FG. I also tried seeing what it'd be like if I slammed the stem. Is it normal for the shifter/brake cables to feel a little squashed (considering the entire handlebar's being lowered quite a bit)?

What size is the bike?

I want a caad10 so freaking bad

I just had to get one or else I'd never stop daydreaming about one.

Will I get the smack down for posting a for sale link from another forum?
It's not my item but is relevant to the interests of this thread.

Which CAAD is it?

WOW, very nice. You beat me to it Pinkbullet3. What is the wait time for a 2012?

I ordered this frame this morning. I'll be joining the cult in a couple of weeks.

I'm in the midwest and was told these will ship to dealers on the 20th, but mine is just a frame. YMMV.

A couple of the small LBSs that I called said that the 2012s will mostly be coming in during the Spring when people will be out riding more. I wanted something for when summer rolls around this year and thought I pick up a 2011 on closeout.

The gray accents are definitely starting to get to me, but I don't see any point in swapping frames on a bike I just got, heh.
