I have to post some pics and I will shortly of my CAAD10 3. I have yet to ride it as its still -14 and snowing.
I am weighing the wheels as I am replacing them with a new pair of Soul 3.0 23mm wide rims.
The front Aksium weighs 1200 grams complete. The Soul wheel weighs 995 grams complete with GP4000s and ti skewer. I imagine that the rear will save a bit more weight so I should be able to shave off 430 grams or so from the wheels and have a mid aero 32mm rim thats 23mm wide.

Hey guys. Have been lurking for awhile, really love the CAADs. Went and got a great deal on a 2012 new old stock CAAD10-4 in raw aluminum. Ordered some Ksyrium Elite's and they are on their way. Will post some awesome pics soon. The stock photos do not do the raw aluminum justice! Quick question...does anyone find the reach on the cannondale brand bars long? I feel so stretched out on this thing. Or should I look at getting a 100mm stem over the stock 110?

My CAAD10 is my first road bike. The LBS did a short fitting, but nothing incredible. I feel stretched on it as well, but I'm getting more and more use to it. If you have to lock your elbows to reach it, you should probably step down to the 100.

With the Soul 3.0's the weight dropped to 16lbs 2oz. Shaved nearly a pound with the wheels. Should be a decent upgrade.
Now, if the snow would stop, I could ride my new CAAD10 3.

Looks great! What headset is that if you don't mind me asking? It's not too low but lower than the factory one. Thanks.

Does anyone know if the FSA 1 1/8" compressor/cap is the same as the "official" CAAD10 top cap assembly?

Thinking of swapping frames to an evo, but i can't decide if i like this colorway or not. What do you guys think? Part of me really likes it, and other part thinks i might get tired of it.
Other part of me says stop spending so much money dumb***.

Love the photo. Two of my favorite colorways right there. Complete opposites too. That white K Light crank looks so clean on the black/white color.
Personally, I'm not a fan of it at all. I'd listen to the last part until next year's colorways are out.

It may be ugly but it is an EVO. Sweet bikes.
