Been making some upgrades and purchases recently. I froze my expander plug, so I splurged and replaced it with the Cannondale EVO SI lightweight expander plug. Currently awaiting this parts arrival. Recently picked up some Speedplay Zero Chrome-Moly pedals on the cheap and purchased some Ti spindles for them. This is the most significant upgrade for the bike so far. The Shimano 5700s I was on weighed in at 318 grams, the Ti spindle Speedplay Zero pedals come in at 166g. I wanted to be on Speedplays from the beginning, but was offered a great deal on Shimanos upon purchasing my bike. Only clipped in to the Speedplays a few times on the trainer just to get a slight feel for how they work. If the expander plug arrives by Friday, I'll spend the weekend out on the bike - which is huge for me considering I don't get to ride all to often.
Hope to get an overall weight of the bike on Monday. I was at 17 lbs 13 oz stock.

When I was searching for my 10-2, Sid's had quite a few closeouts and some new 2014 CAAD10's rolling in at pretty good prices. They got two locations about ten blocks apart in the east and west side of NYC.

While you're at it, check out Paragon's which is near Sid's West Side. Both shops will give you a 10% off if you are a Transportation Alternatives member.

Is there a word on brake calipers between SRAM and Shimano, or is it just personal preference? I'm looking to replace the stock R580s for either Rival or 105 brakes, if new brakes would even make a difference. Maybe I should just start with the pads first. Any pad recommendations?

how good is the SRAM Red 22 compared to the 6800? I'm on the fence between the 2014 Black inc and the 10-3. Really liking the 10-3, don't know enough about the Sram groupset to know whether i'd like it. Weight isn't an issue, i've got loads to lose off my lardass. I won't be able to check out an LBS for a while as I'm travelling, if any of you guys can weigh in I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
I'll be doing lots of 40-60 mile rides, which is what I do now on my Schwinn, and the occasional race...working up to those.

The Red22's Yaw front derailleur is quite good and comparable with the 9000's with the 9000 shifting smoother while the Red22 feels more solid albeit slightly noisier when it shifts. For me though, I had never ridden a SRAM groupset and over the course of the weekend I found that it took a fair amount of focus to remember to shift properly using the SRAM style shifters. I would probably get used to it after some time if I did go with the Red22, but why go through that if I can just go Shimano and have a system I'm used to already?
All just my opinion, but I hope that helps

I bought a CAAD3 for parts to use on an '86 SR build. The OP attempted to rebuild it as a hybrid. 
Overall it was nicer than the price suggested so the SR build was put on hold and I built a replacement distance roadie. Originally a '99 R1000T.

Hello, newbie here and soon to be a CAAD10 owner. Just sold my previous bike so I walk in to a local bike store here and saw a CAAD10 in BBQ. I have been looking for used CAAD 10 for a while now but decided to get a new one. The owner let me test drive it and man its so smooth and feels so light compared to my previous bike. Its still has a stock tires and wondering how it will ride with a better tires. I ordered one and should get it by tomorrow or Saturday.
Any suggestions for tires will be great. Also looking for advise for a lightweight SPD pedal. Thanks.
