1. Suddenly everyone has that color frame, lol.
2. I just rode my new CAAD10 on one of my weekly routes featuring rough roads and I'm super impressed with this frame. I'm glad I rode that POS frame for so long so I appreciate the CAAD10 or I'd never know what I was missing. I've pedaled my Mom's Supersix (a little small, lol) and it's just a tiny bit smoother over cracks in the road but it feels like more BB stiffness is given up. Now, my father's Synapse HM, that thing is god. That will be my next bicycle frame, when I turn 40 in 7 years if not sooner. That thing is soooooooooo smooth and puts down power like my CAAD10.

Wow!!!!!! what a beauty.

Yea black is my favorite color, and this is the only color i really like for 2014. I love the response and feed back i get from the road when ridding this beast of a bike. Fast fast as well and at the same time comfy.

I was temped to pay $300 more and get a silver/black 2013 105 complete bike, but I bought this color frame to be "different", suddenly everyone has one, lol.

i wouldn't say that everyone has this frame color. I am the only CAAD10 around here with this color right now. But don't know how for how long, its all good though. You just go ahead and build your bike up and enjoy it when it done.:thumb:

I didn't think that they made a DI2 bike for 2014.
The 2014 Black Inc. is Sram Red

You are right they don't. But for 2014 the frames are DI2 compatible, I bought the frame from my local dealer the owner which is a good friend of mine, for $800 then built it up with Di2.

I like the simple 2 tones of the frame, with a contrasting fork. I really hope this colourway design finds its way to road CAAD10 models. Perhaps not in green. I could see it done really well with red base with white letters, with the fork being mostly black (almost the opposite of the fork pictured).

Yep. You get little Di@ fittings to run the wire internally through the DT and out the seat tube. Have fun with that install, lol.

Very cool. Where do they put the battery? Under the down tube like they did for 2013?

anyone upgraded their brake set on a CAAD 105 other than just swapping pads?

I put Ultegras on both of my CAAD10 5's but I also went to ultegra shifters.

I don't see any mounts for it, but also don't know what I'm looking for because I have poverty 105/Ultegra.

SRAM Red 2012 - brakes and shifters.

battery location
 

there is no fitting on the frame for battery, its design for the battery to be in the seat post and thats where mine is.

The install was very easy noting to it at all.

Your asking on the wrong thread. The CAAD 10 grows on you and the more you ride it, the less tempted you to try others.

Shimano 105 (5700). Performed better than KoolStop salmon upgrade.

Always loved the look of Cannondales and have recently started looking for one to call my own. I am currently riding a 2005 Specialized Allez Elite that is all aluminum with a carbon fork. I initially started looking for something with a carbon frame, but I really like the aluminum Allez I riding now, just looking for something a little newer. Seems like people really like their CAAD's and their aluminum frames, so it may be worth a shot. I have an REI real close to me and I am going to head over there to check some of them out, for size and such.

I found a 2013 CAAD10 equipped w/ Ultegra for $1000 on Craigslist, and I'm thinking it may be too good of a deal to pass up. Let me know what you guys think?? Thanks a lot

That sounds like a pretty good deal. Current MSRP on a CAAD10-3 (w/Ultegra groupset) is $2270.

Agreed on that Ultegra level CAAD 10, if it fits you and is in excellent condition, I'd buy it. Check everything over carefully and look at each component and the wheels closely to be sure they are not hiding anything off the wall. Do your due diligence with CL, as usual.

Now how do I get my hands on one of those!

You run up when he isn't looking.....and touch it :p

BUT I put my synapse for sale on cl and some guy is meeting me this Saturday to look at it. I am sad to sell it but stoked to be 1 step closer to a caad10 :D

Nice looking bike. That's one of my favorite color options. What wheels are those?
