Lame. Force bike should have Force crank. Would complete the look.

Considering the 10 4's cranks downgraded between 2011 and 2012, perhaps the company's trying to save a bit of money? I dunno. The price went up between those two years as well.

It's a nice carbon crank though. It's the same one used on the quark power meters.

I like the top picture.

I do not like the rest - IMO, with that change in color from front to back, they look unbalanced. (I think this year's colors look better.)

I think the 2012 murdered out black looks WAY better than the 2013 black w/ weird gold...

Don't like any of he 2013 colors that much. To busy, look like treks.

Pinkbullet3 07-21-12 06:44 PM

Welp, it's been decided. Cannondale, it's back to the drawing board for you guys.

I think a SRAM Red option would be better than Di2 at the top.

And note that the Di2 is Ultegra, and not Dura Ace.

I'd take Dura Ace over SRAM Red, but agree that either one of them should be on the menu.

If you don't mind me asking how much those PSIMET wheels weigh, and how much you pay for them? I was just trying to figure out their prices, b/c i was thinking of ordering a wheelset from them.

It depends on what you want. He pretty much builds anything. Pick your parts or go with his recommendations. His prices have been competitive.

I also just noticed none of the models have hollow gram cranks available either. One of the things I dislike about cannondale is their use of second their components even on their high end bikes. An "ultimate" model with an FSA crank and Tektro brakes doesn't sound too ultimate to me.

The 2013 DI2 Ultegra is an homage to the Cannondale Black Lightning... a classic Cannondale paint:

As for the higher groupset spec CAAD10, maybe they weren't selling a lot of them because most people spending that kind of money were probably considering the Evo instead? A lot of people find it cheaper to buy the lower spec complete bike, sell off the parts, and put on the parts of their choice.

O LAWD

really really DO WANT that 10-4 in the black/gray/white

UMassAm 07-23-12 05:24 AM

Better than '13 yes. Same as '12 though.

Good eye.

bikerjp 07-23-12 09:33 PM

Small upgrade.

Little by little.

How does the new Red crank work with the rival dr's?

I am so tempted to buy one myself. PBK has em at a very good price.

NWS Alpine 07-24-12 11:14 AM

Crank is sweet. I wish the chainrings were black. Get some Praxis chainrings and a black/silver chain.

Works fine. Will upgrade the rest as I can but for now no issues so no real need.

Yeah, the old red black was nice but figured I go with the newest as that's what I'll most likely be getting as I go forward. A black or silver chain might have looked better but that's what I have. I think the gold would look better on all black rings.

Do you have a pic of the whole bike? Looks like my make and model. 2009 9-7

Before the new crank though. I'll try and get a new pic sometime.

Hello there, I just joined the Cult. I got myself a 201x? Incycle caad 10. Still in the process of building her up but here are a few teasers :)
