There seems to be a few shops around the country doing the same offer. Probably something to do with Cannondale and Garmin sponsoring the same pro team.

shifters look....... off?

love the polished AL though.

I am hearing similar regarding CAAD12... but no details beyond just the name change. What is anyone hearing??? :p

No concrete news, maybe a lefty Caad12 with Discs.. New evo with power pyramid.
I've heard there are going to be some bonkers bikes from Cannondale. If they bring a Caad gravel bike I'll be in!
Can't wait for the release in August. Don't think I've ever been as excited about a range coming out.

Be nice to bring back a cheaper CAAD9...........

Saw this on the cycling tips instagram today...

Hi guys!
I am new here and the reason for my appearance is that I ordered CAAD10 Frameset (color is red) for a “rocket” bike build. It is not my first bike, but it is the first with racing “genes” in it. I realize I will have to grow with it (that’s what I want), I am ex swimmer and my physical condition is not so great – I returned to biking 2 years ago and I never regretted this, even though I had to try several different bikes with different frame sizes to find one that suits me. The frame size is 60cm – yes, I am tall guy - my height is 182cm, inseam is 89cm, long arms and heavy weight – around 95-100kg, that’s about 200pounds. Plus my curved back (spine) does not give me much space to bend, but I still want to train and maybe race after I regain my shape.
I realize I may be asking much, but I am seeking help from you guys. I am not familiar with this specific model and I am planning to order bike parts to finish assemble to complete bike myself. My local LBS’s are not qualified enough for this job (their main range is mtb bikes), plus I find pleasure in assembling bike and tinkering with stuff. I read this wonderful thread and I made a list of parts which are required to finish the bike, please comment on those and tell me if I forgot something important. The build is not very expensive, its more like more bang for minimum bucks and with comfort too – so that I do not have to change my teeth fillings. Thanks in advance!

I'm miss my CAAD
 

Can't wait to see the 12....might need to jump back in

Jansky, I'm 185cm 88cm inseam and ride a 58cm CAAD10 - I reckon a 60cm may be a slight stretch for you. Did you test ride one before placing the order?

FWIW, I'm around 106Kg and ride these specs:-

58cm frame
110mm 6 degree stem (turned down)
42cm c to c at hoods bars
175mm cranks
Fulcrum Racing Zero wheelset

At 100Kg, you're up there, but I don't believe you'd need 32-spoke rims - unless you are fairly hard on the bike and/or ride in very ordinary places.

Not real sure you'd need latex tubes either - they are a bit more work than rubber.

In an event, good luck with your build - these are great frames.

cheers

Macca33, hi!
To be frank, I did not test drive it. As I were saying - we do not have local LBS who specialize in C-dales, its a darn shame, but what can I do. I found local guy who ride CAAD10 and asked to try out a bike, but his frame size was too small for me (54cm). But no worries - I just measured my current steel bike with measuring tape, put down the numbers and compared my current fit to the one I will be having, so fit is not a problem, plus shop were I ordered frameset looked at my pictures on a bike all the measuremnts and they confirmed 60cm is just what I need. That what I was thinking as well. Wanna hear something sad? I called up one of my local LBS's, who are supposed to be supplying pros and have mainly italian bikes. Their website said they had Pinarello Nero in stock, well it turned out they didn't (no respect for that) and when I told them my height (they didn't even wanna hear my body measurements or offer to come down for a fit), they were like: "Nooo, you need 54cm frame, maybe even 52cm, oh and yes, you gonna have to wait for a month or two, we donno", so I laughted at people who sell expensive italian bikes, but can't even offer decent fit and laid the phone, but truly its very dissapointing. Only thing I could possibly try out are Meridas and Cubes, which are fine, but that's not what I want. And I've fallen seriously for CAAD, so for me ordering a bike or a frameset is the only option.
As for stem lenght, I am still undecided - I will be trying out several different ones when finishing fit. It all depends on how I position my saddle - either with seatback or like a sprinter - above bb. Usually I prefer non-UCI "saddle tip to bb" about 2-3 cm. This allows for powerfull pedalling. And as for wheels, yes I'm planning to ride various types of road - from awesome to harsh, hence durable wheels and comfy setup - hence carbon seatpost, leather saddle (i love my current brooks). About tubes - maybe you are right - I never had a chance to compare - I lurked on weightweenie or here that latex tube is not only lighter, but gives less rolling resistance which gives tubular-ish feeleing - so maybe i will spend a buck, maybe I won't.
My main worry is assembly of tansmission, cranks - I am not familiar with BB30. As far as I understood, frame comes with FSA BB30 pre-istalled, so I just take crankset out of my new SRAM groupset and insert left crank with axle, put on a driveside crankset and screw it with allen wrench. I feel like such a noob))
Anyways, thanks a ton, mate, I will keep our community posted on my progress and will add pics, because "pics, or it didn't happen")))

I think a 60cm CAAD would be way too big for you. I'm close to your height (180 cm) and I have had a 54 and 56 CAAD. Personally for me the 54 with a 120mm stem worked better than the 56 with shorter stem.

Hello, rms13!
Everybody tells to go with smaller frame))
Okay, to persuade you guys I will post pic of my single/fixie commuter - it is Fuji Declaration 61cm size with Colossi fork. I flipped stem into upright position for more view and comfort in a city.
I hope it is not a blasphemy to attach non-CAAD bikes)
P.S.: Sorry for non-driveside.

Flipping the stem like that would make me think the reach (top tube) is too long for you on your current bike. Do you have long

I agree - knowing my height this setup seems outlandish, but I have long arms, long legs, so it fits me fine, anyways thanks for the concern, on CAAD I'll be trying out different stems, as I mentioned.

Bike fit is not my worry. My worry is assembly)) Has anyone serviced SRAM BB30 and can confirm to me that my understanding of it is correct?

It is reliable and easy to service if you follow instructions, have the correct tools AND use Loctite 609 when installing the bearings.


There are plenty of threads with the info on this site and in the googlesphere.

cheers

If the bearings are already pressed into your frame and they are in good condition and don't need to be serviced, then yes just put a little grease on crankset spindle and insert into the bottom bracket and use correct allen wrench to tighten it. If you need remove or replace bearings than it's best to have proper tools which are expensive unless you are using it all the time. But I would be amazed if any LBS doesn't have tools and knowledge to service BB30 since press fit bottom brackets are the norm on most bikes now (road, mountain, cross etc)

Hello, macca33 and rms13!
Yeah, I had a look at SRAM manual and looked up vids on youtube. I think it'll be fine, I'll post frame picture when I get it and will post my build as well. Just really anxious - long weeks of wait till it is delivered, I think you understand)))

Just curious - Does anyone know the stock weight of a '15 CAAD10 w/ 105?

I think this is more likely the next CAADX with a lefty rather than CAAD12.....

My 2014 with 5700 was dead on at 18.7 sized 56

Guys, hello!
I have found a lot of treads on how poor is BB30 compared to Hollowtech2 in terms of reliability and bearing protection. Mostly people write about creaking noise, fewer have even worse cases. Some claim the most important thing is proper bearing installation with locktite with proper bearing pressure tools as mentioned here before and no prob.
I already ordered frameset and now I am choosing between Rival 22 which will fit like a glove and Ultegra 2x10, which will require Praxis converter kit which is most decent and sensible way in my humble opinion. Aside from additional cost for this kit and slightly higher price for Ultegra groupset, what are pros and cons? In BB30 I like small Q-factor, I have never tried it, but want to. And the Shimano components are well-known and proven. Hence my uncertainty.
Thanks!

BB30 is one of the easiest BB's to work on. Make sure you have the right tools. Get the Park BB30 removal tool and a bearing/headset press. Don't jerk around with one of those long bolts and an assortment of nuts and washers from Home Depot. As for loctite, don't use it unless absolutely necessary. As long as the BB30 shell and bearing provide a tight creak free fit, just stick with grease. However, over time and after many bearing replacements, loctite will eventually be required.

There are plenty of helpful youtube vids for install/removal but here's one technique to avoid.

You be the judge.

I own 3 x BB30 bikes and am currently building one with PF30 (which is BB30 bearing with press in cups) - to date, no issues whatsoever and they work very nicely.

My 2 x CAAD10s are running Shimano cranks with the Wheels Mfg BB30 - 24mm converters - light and simple to use and again, work faultlessly. My other two bikes are using native BB30 / 30mm cranksets.


cheers

Why not 11 speed ultegra or even 105? They are pretty cheap and the praxis converter is a great option to use shimano cranks
