morning ride before work last week.

Beautiful scenery and nice bike! Did you make it to work on time? I personally would have gotten "lost" and been a little late.

Well, I guess I drank the punch. Pulled the trigger on a brand new 2012 raw finish CAAD10 4 today, should be here early this week.

I have a Thomson Masterpiece with seat post clamp, and a Deda Elementi Newton bar that ill probably throw on there from my Trek T1, and obviously adjust the fit as soon as I get it. Pictures will of course follow.

PS; I was feeling pretty good about the $1,400 price I got on it, but looking at others purchases makes me feel like I maybe overpaid? Any thoughts?

For a new 10-4 that's a good deal. They were like $1750 when i bought my CAAD10-5.
BTW i like the raw finish too, Congrats

Great deal. Love that raw look. Just ordered the 2013 and not as happy with the paint but excited to get the bike and start to ride.

How's the new shop coming along?

Awesome! Thanks for noticing. We're very busy. People are responding to the more personalized service we offer. The CAAD10 is already our most popular bike!

$1400 is a pretty damn awesome price.

I haggled to get mine for $1200, and it wasn't brand new.

I paid about $1,000 for my CAAD10-1 anodized frameset, and I considered that fair. I'd say $1,400 was a good deal.

I wouldn't worry about it. I love my CAAD 10-4, and while I might have liked the Supersix too, I certainly got a lot of bike for my money and have no regrets after almost two years on it.

Dam I wish I lived by this store. 2012 105 SS is $1800 around here. But I ended up getting a good deal (I think) on the 2013 105 since I prefer those colors. Going to pay $1100 after trading in my 2012 CAAD8-6. And they're swapping out the frame to the flat black with red, and standard crank (what is climb?) all for free so I'm happy. Putting a deposit on it this weekend. I originally wanted the rival, but after testing it out I immediately hated sram. Although I did like the fact you can bring the lever back for shifting in the drops during sprints and such.

My thoughts are that you can never overpay in cycling as long as you are getting something that you want and will use. I have found that no matter how little I thought I paid for something there is always someone who paid less and got more.

I paid full retail on my '12 CAAD10-5 when I bought it a while ago and would still consider it a value and would pay that again. FYI that was $1699.

Ok, THIS is my favorite CAAD EVER!

So much potential there! actually, so much there already. A little leveling, remove the plastic disk, a proper fit and cut of the excess steerer tube, pedals... After that you'll just end up checking out the WW section.
On that note try to weigh your bike when you get it and after you fix it up.

In regards to dork disks, cannondale's don't really look half bad, haha.

99Klein 02-20-13 04:38 PM
