From my recent searching it's apparent that one of these in 48cm doesn't exist within 200 miles of the gulf coast.

I have that wheelset on my Specialized Allez! they look sweet on a black/red frame

Thanks, they roll good.

sweet. What do you think of the DI2? Do you notice any difference between mechanical and electric?

by one of these do you mean a CAAD in general or were you referring to the CAAD8?

Actually I was referring to a CAAD10.

I have not seen a 48 CAAD10 either. Well a womens version but I don't think that's what you're looking for are you?

Nope.

Doesn't help matters that there's only one Cannondale dealer within 50 miles of my house and out of town dealers can't ship bikes.

Sorry, was referring to Johnny's 10...I have Reynolds wheels as well, so always enjoy seeing them on bikes.

I mentioned this in another tread, but I purchased a 52mm 2013 alloy CAAD10 5 at a local Orlando shop last week for $1450. I'm not sure how far you want to travel but I was in the shop yesterday and noticed that they had atleast one more (like mine) available on the showroom floor. The sale info on the website indicates the following sizes are available (48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 63). If interested you may want to give them a call and confirm the 48mm is still available. (Orange Cycle, 407-422-5552).

from this evening's sunset spin.

so you debadged your wheels today or do you have multiple sets of carbon wheels for your bike?

Both.
Check out the link in my sig.
I have multiple bikes and sets of wheels.

48mm... wow, that's one small bike...

nice, I think it looks so much better without the labels on the wheels....true stealth mode. Very nice bike.

No, that's about the right size for someone who's slightly above 5" tall.

Yes, a little over 29 miles last Saturday including Caddy Way, Lake Baldwin, Loch Haven Park and the Orlando Urban Trail. :)

Thanks. Orlando is like a 10 hour drive though. I'd like to ride one of these things before I buy it, but that's darn near impossible it seems.

That would be a long ride. Hope you can locate a dealer closer to home, and test ride one. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any dealers who ship them outside their area. Seems like they’re all for local pickup at their stores . Perhaps part of their dealer agreement with Cannondale. Good luck. :)

most if not all C'dale online dealers won't ship. even some of the ones on ebay say no shipping. if you are dead set on getting a caad10 you may have to travel.

I emailed with a dealer this week out of New York (I think) and he told me they can't ship Cannondale bikes. All the manufacturers I'm interested in have a similar deal, and there's no bikes out there within 50 miles of my house I'd fit on besides 2 ladies' Bianchis.

the fact that you exclude the online market will limit you. you could find your size online but you require a test ride. i hope it works out, but again, I think you will have to travel.
