I've been waiting three weeks for my LBS to get a CAAD10 in my size "Any day now". 
At least the crappy weather this week makes the waiting a little easier. I'm in no hurry to ride in 35 degree rain.

Stunning! My favorite color on the 10.

I'd love to make the switch, but I'm honestly not even sure where to start.

Alright my fellow CAAD lovers. I've search and search and haven't found an answer I'm not satisfied with regarding max tire width that a CAAD9 will accept. I know 25mm tires will work, but how about 28mm like Continental's 4-season tire?
I ask for a couple reasons. One, my CAAD9 has become the rain/crap-road bike now that its overshadowed by an EVO. And two, friend of mine starting talking about riding D2R2, which is a ride in Deerfield, MA, that is mostly on dirt/gravel roads. For that, I'm not quite sure whether the CAAD9 is the best choice even with 28mm tires. From reading ride reports, sounds like a cross bike is the way to go (and the wife doesn't understand how I could possibly need 3 bikes.)

Nagrom,
You should find a list like you want in Road Bike Action Magazine. They did an article about the tubeless rims and tyres out now along with the ins and outs of installing a tubeless system and what it entails in the April 2013 issue. They have a list of tyres, wheels, accessories and they ranked several of the tubeless tyres that they tested. Hope this helps you out some.

So it's been a while since I posted my CAAD7. I recently did some changes so i decided to post. Changes are FSA wing pro compact bars, Jagwire cables and housing, BOYD Rouleurs (24/28) and a nice coat of Mcguires wax. Not HOT r NOT ready or as nice as a new CAAD10, but I think it looks pretty good for an eight year old bike. Sorry for the bottles in the cages, this was right after a 30 mile ride.

I know I said this last time you posted pics or your ride but really.... one of the sharpest looking rides I've seen. Everything you've done compliments the paint scheme very well. Yours and the stealth/matte black/darkgrey with gloss black lettering are definitely my 2 favorite paint schemes on the 10. That said, I have yet to see one of the black ones matched and photographed as well as yours. Kudos.

By the way, where did you get that deal? haha
Too much for a frame set with a dent, that is a stress riser started and even though the new alloys are very good this is still not good on an aluminum frame (6061 alloy I believe,) regardless of the location of the dent. There have been better prices on CAAD9 framesets lately on eBay, watch there with putting in a "Watch" for that particular frameset, with or without the fork. Best of luck in finding a CAAD9 they are great frames.

What would you say is a good price for the Rudy Project Sterling? I've found 1 online for $160. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay? Thanks!
