Keeping it clean.
Hey guys. I have a 2013 CAAD10-4 black and white model. I hate the white because it looks dirty so fast. How do you guys keep you CAAD clean while riding lots? What is your cleaning process and schedule?
Can I spray degreaser on the cassette, derailleurs, chain and chain stay and water off without disassembling the bike after every rise or so?

I had to laugh when I read "Reach Around rear brake mount". Don't they check these names before printing the marketing materials?

Any rust issues using a degreaser w/citrus in it compared to a plain degreaser?

I think my next bike will be a cx bike. I love the blue caad8 i posted earlier and an enduro bike would be a good fit....but I want to go soemwhere else other than the road (aka in the dirt). I think a caadx would be awesome
I am also looking at a felt as well....I need to try something other than cannondale so i am not one of "those" guys

I am liking the carbon synapse disc. I think the discs ruin the caad10s clean design, which is partly why I don'tt like them.

Is that a true track bike or a road fixed gear? I assume it's a track bike since it doesn't have any brakes. I can't tell if it has water bottle bosses or not.

The green CAAD 8 and black CAAD 10 look nice, but the others are a little meh.

I'm thinking of buying a used 2000 cannondale R800 caad4 from my local bike shop for the price of $500. It's in good condition; is it worth it?

Doesn't sound too bad but it bothers me.
