I guess it could go lower. The price of this build would be SO dumb. That was sorta fun. :P

you say "so dumb," what kind of numbers are you talking? Just an estimate.

Updated photo after I did some work last night..

Put on the new Vuelta Corsa Lite Wheels w/ 25mm Conti 4000s tires and put on an Ultegra 11-28 rear cassette. (I think the SPD's and Fizik saddle are new since my last picture too...)

Done with the upgrades for now.. If I take off the seat bag I might be ready for the Hot or Not thread. :)

:lol:

Nice!! :thumb:

Nice! I love the black/grey/red color scheme. It's stealth but really stylish. I run the GP4000S as well - mine are staggered though, 25 rear 23 front. You will love them if you haven't used them before, really great tires.

Thanks!! I was trying to keep with the red/black/gray, I kinda wish the letters on the wheel were gray instead of white but I'm sure age and dirt will help with that a little bit. :)

I had 23mm GP4000s'es on the stock wheels and really liked them. I figured I'd give the 25's a try this time around. I dont think I'll notice a difference but if I do I can always go back since they aren't being used now. (I plan on using those when I use the trainer in the winter)

Are the wheel logos a sticker? I removed the stock ones from my wheels and was really pleased with getting the rims to plain black - took a LONG time with Goo-Gone and a rag though - the glue that Fulcrum used on their stickers is heinous. The result is nice and clean though, and the rims wipe down easier when they get the inevitable road grime.

cleaned last night

gorgeous.

Around 9 grand.

They are stickers, I was toying with the idea of taking them off and maybe will eventually but I'm not sure.. I really like the red part of it and I'm not sure how it would look if I just left that on.. I'm good with it for now.

Acetone or light/quick action with mineral spirits. You'll also be surprised to see what olive oil or veggie oil will do to most adhesive residues.

I tried acetone, no joy. I have no idea what was on those Fulcrum stickers, but it was stubborn. I didn't have mineral spirits handy but will keep that in mind.

Quick fork question for the CAAD experts--could I swap out the stock fork on my CAAD9 and replace it with the stock fork from a 2011 supersix?

Thanks - - -

Whats up guys? Avid cyclists here, 18 years old, racer, experienced but my bike just isnt cutting it... im currently on an old Caad Saeco...stiff dont get me wrong but ive been searching for a Caad 10 or 9 when this one came up! It isnt the groupset i want but thats changeable and I already have some ultegra and a little higher compnets...weve settled on a price of 650 and I think its a steal! I will be updating this bike heavily and trying to loose some weight on it and I need a new set of race wheels so.. Tell me what yall think! Im a Caad rider through and through! Awesome bikes!

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/bik/3896281078.html

that's a nice wheelset. how are those archetypes? I havent seen the hard anodized version actually used, but it looks good here.. I'd imagine that it would wear off slower than the normal black, but what do i know.. :rolleyes:

based on what others have said, they do appear to wear better. Those have somewhere between 1500 and 2000 miles on them

no one? I know you people love these Caads! Help me decide.

A caad10 frame could be had for about that price, but if you're itching to ride right now, $650 probably sounds pretty good for a full bike.

Well, I was set on a 10 until I really started looking and had trouble finding one...and supposedly the Caad 9 are superb AL machines as welll.

Well, pulled the trigger on Caad 9 today. So far, pretty impressed with weight, stiffness, and response that I'm getting out of this frame. I wouldnt touch the groupset with a 10ft pole normally but thatll be switched off Monday morning by the LBS and get them to look it over as well. The wheels in the first picture are the tankers (shimano rs500 i belive) good trainer wheels for the winter however. Second picture of the Bonny rxl scandiums...good light little all around wheel set. Groupset will take me a few to get up to the durace I would like however I do have some Utlegra shifters, 105 brakes, Bonny carbon crank, Bontrager Xlite bars so Ill upgrade a little. Work in process for sure but it'll be a quick bike for sure!
