Some random China special clinchers. I've ridden them daily and swapped from other bikes for the past 1500 miles. Still true, very stiff and no issues. Color me impressed for $600

This is probably my favorite color. At first I did not like it but it has grown on me. A lot. :p

I also dig the brushed aluminum bikes as well.

that is a great color!

Agreed, that is a super sharp bike. The zipps really fit it well

Cannondale have €100,000 worth of equipment stolen:

Bummer!

Doughboy6 02-13-14 05:34 PM

I don't believe that people who actually ride bikes would ever contemplate stealing one. I know I would be devastated if mine were stolen and I would never want to see that befell on another fellow enthusiast/addict.

THSdrummer 02-13-14 08:31 PM

People who steal bikes have no souls. It's a proven fact cyclists have souls. It's true some can be a-holes, but if they saddle-up, they have a soul. Best of luck to Cannondale. Have bike thieves hitting pro teams risen recently or am I just to new to know the difference?

raatty: I bet that would have been an awesome experience! I'd be happy just to have a pro race within 6 hours.

I got everything cleaned-up, fixed the RD cable, saddle is right, post is right, gray 6700 brakes, it's a blast to ride although I suffered pretty bad on it today:

Thanks. I'm definitely happy with this bicycle, the first nice road bike for me. I just broke down and ordered the matching RD since the old one was ticking from the crash too.

Need some color advice. It's about time to recable, retape, etc the CAAD for spring. I was thinking about going with white housing. Overkill? Better ideas? Sorry, not the best picture, just a quick shot on the trainer to see the current scheme.

Team Sarcasm 02-16-14 05:14 PM

Unless you get black bar tape and a black seat I would not go with the white housing. But that's just me :)

So.....I walked into the lbs today, and there is was, a beautiful 56cm 2013 caad10 w/105 in the black and silver color like this \/

http://seocycle.net/wp-content/uploa...ad10-5-105.jpg

I don't completely dislike this color but it is not my first choice. It's priced at $1494.XX (after taxes).... but I really like the new team colors. You guys think I should get over my color preference and pick this up? (For info, they have a left over supersix as well. The 2013 ss is only 20$ more than a 2014 caad10, both after taxes)

I came home to my parent's house to see them and my girlfriend so I have until tomorrow to decide because that is when I leave :p


I think they could have gone without the "10" on the top tube...
