What's wrong with going and riding some and having it fitted at a shop?

No chance to get it in LBS... only online order.

2013 CAAD 8 8, upgraded from 2300 to 105 and Shimano r-501 wheelset. It, and myself, are a work in progress. It's 50% commuter and 50% weekend rider.

I think competitivecyclist has a program in which you can plug in your info and it gives you a bike size. Check it out.

hard to say, but going off these numbers I would think you need a 54.

Awesome training camp with the team. 3 days of climbing torture but still managed to snap a great scenery.

That bike deserves a better backdrop. Where the heck is that?

That little building is Battery Cranston, in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge on the city side.

WOW !! i had a 2013 CAAD10 105 in this colour last year but sold it to get the 2014 Black CAAD10 ultegra. where is was thinking about having it more black, you have had the vision to make the other bits silver. excellent thought behind the colour scheme. i love my black stealth, but if i had of seen this pic last year, i would have been happy keeping by raw/black knowing that it could turn out like this

Zipp bars, stem, seatpost, prologo carbon saddle.
I managed to grab syncross wheels off a customer in the shop for a good price.
Old 10 speed Sram Red.
The bike rides great, couldn't be happier.

Which Zipp bar model? I'm a fan of the my Deda Newton Shallows, but if I go weight weenie (which I've started some what), I'd like a set of lightweight handlebars. Ritchey's new Neoclassic bars have good dimensions, but still tip the scales a bit heavy.

That CAAD10 with Campy looks fantastic. Most anything with classic drops and Campy is solid in my book.

I agree. The Campy bits, silver seat post and stem, and even the saddle with the silver really look right on that bike. Yours is the first of that paint scheme to look right IMO.

These are the bars http://www.zipp.com/bars/service-course-sl-88---/ I'm adding some Cero AR30 wheels, very light and do the job. I really do love the bike.

The silver campy Caad10 is a good looking machine, very tidy.

I bought this exact frame with the intention of doing a Campy build. I was thinking Chorus, but always in the back of my mind was "but I can get the Athena in silver..." Thanks for showing exactly how it would look. The white saddle and tape are a nice wrinkle, I was planning on keeping them black.

Presume the performance of the Athena is up to your standards?

Wow, looks amazing. I like the retro vibe you have created with the 'alloy' Campag. Bar looks slightly over rotater forwards but if you like it that way then its good I guess : )

Here is my CAAD 10 52cm custom build. Always been a Campag fan so stripped a regular 105 CAAD 10 and put all the bits on another frame.
I fitted http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=360815a chainsuck protector from a Super Six... needed a bit of shaping but fits a treat now.

Sorry, I dont know what happened to my pic! I'll have to see if I can make it bigger somehow. It seems that you have to click on the pic to see the real size : / Newbies eh? lol

I drove up to Jersey to get my new bike this past Thursday. Walked in the door Friday morning to the shop at 10 and rode out by 12. Since then I have ridden around 150 miles in four different states along with the nation's capital. Here is a shot in front of the White House on a very windy Saturday.

The smile hasn't left my face, even while I wait for the snow to melt. So, I apologize for the delay in posting pictures...but I was out riding :ride:

Seymour, how do you get it to be a large photo rather than just the thumbnail?

Host the image on an external website, like imgur or something, then copy the img url, click the little photo in the taskbar above where you type and put the copied url in there, then unclick the "host image on bike forums" or whatever the clickable option is, just make sure it's not clicked. Then hit enter.
