Nice work!!

jellz

Wonder what mine weighs.

I've been slowly working my way through this thread and all I can say us I'm hooked and I know what my next bike is going to be!

nagrom, what cables are you using?

Yokozuna Reaction.

Great stuff.

a full list build? too lazy to click your pedal room.

my bike is a porker compared to yours and it's a 52cm

You should join us. You will need to sacrifice a goat to join the cult. or is it eat some goat? I can't ever remember the rules.

Copy and pasted from PR. Only difference is a Thomson masterpiece with Ti hardware and KCNC yokes and J&L 30g skewers that went on this morning to get it under 15.

Sorry for crappy formatting, I'm on a tablet.

Someone clean that up for me.

edit: nvm fixed it

Took a pic with 300 lens to get some blur

The PSIMET wheels look good on your bike. Nice ride, put the front skewer on the none drive side.

oops, yeah was in a hurry getting it out the car, brake pads are off too, lol

Nice. Do you have a weight for that wheelset?

Sure do. Just under 1500g, including skewers and velo plugs, with a 648g front and an 850g rear. 24/28 2 cross. Laced with Sapim Lasers and Sapim Polyax alloy nipples.
Rock solid under my 185 pounds. Would definitely recommend.

They were $436 bucks said and done, to my doorstep, but that was during a cyber Monday sale, but they can still be done for under $500 I'm sure.

Just finished setting up my two CAADs. I'll be racing the CAAD10, keeping the CAAD9 for training and raining.

Nice.

Nice bike. Dislike the colored tires though

Interesting - thanks for posting.

How do you compare the 9 and the 10? I.e. how much of an improvement is the 10 over the 9..?

They're holdovers from another CAAD9 (2009 black/red) that I got before I bought the CAAD10 frame. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some black GP4Ks before collegiate season starts

I just got the 10, and Minneapolis' weather has been less than bike friendly , so honestly I have no idea as of yet. Will try to post something when I've gotten out and about on it for a bit.

Wish my school had a cycling team.

I ordered my 2013 CAAD10 3 today, the black and white color scheme.

Should be in by next Friday. The anticipation...

This.

NEED OPINIONS:

I created a thread "Choose my wheels" - but things got heated in there. I have a 2012 CAAD10 105.

I am shopping for wheels.

I narrowed it down to Shimano RS80 C24 or Boyd Vitesse. I can get the Shimano for around $500.00 and the Vitesse $650.

Which one would you choose? I do all sorts of riding, am 170lbs, just want something lighter and that performs better.

...makes me sad. On the school note, the CAADs are super popular on our team--off the top of my head 6 of our ~25 regular racers ride or until recently rode CAAD9s or CAAD10s.

Haven't ridden either pair, but from a repairability standpoint I'd go with the Boyds, since they're using CX Ray spokes instead of Shimano's custom ones. I blew a spoke off my RS20 and it took trips to 3 shops before I found someone who had the right replacement spokes. Of course, YMMV if you've got a shop that carries a lot of Shimano-wheeled bikes.
