I love the yellow Dura Ace Caad 12 disc.
I'm disappointed the Geometry of the slate is so relaxed. I may have to keep my Caad 10 now.
The plan was a slate instead of my CX and road bikes but the slate won't quite fit the bill as it doesn't look quite road enough for me.

Does anyone here have experience with the 2013 CAAD 10 Black Inc. with Di2? Found one at a good price and looking for some reviews!

I own one and love it. I bought it new back in November of 2014 and so far its been perfect. They came with two different wheel sets (Mavic or Shimano) and mine has the Ultegra 6700's which transformed the bike after utilizing their tubeless compatibility. The Di2 has been amazing and other than one of the Di2 wires coming unplugged at the shifter after I re-taped my bars and not leaving a bit of slack at the connection, the bike has never let me down with a mechanical issue. I did acetone the gold lettering off of the bike, got an all black seat, and bought some tubeless carbon clinchers just to personalize it a bit. Great Bike! Here's a cell pic from a recent ride; http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqwf2ih94.jpg

150 g lighter frame than the CAAD10 sounds nice. :D

Like dvdslw, I love mine. Beautiful bike; the best CAAD colorway for my preferences.

Wow, they're really pushing the whole road disc thing.

It's like, the future, man!

Actually, I have nothing against road discs, I enjoy my disc wheels on my mtb, seems like they'd be just as nice on the road. Of course, i just bought new (non disc) wheels, so I will not be joining the road disc "revolution" anytime soon.

I don't have anything again road discs either, other than the fact that they don't look as sleek imo. I test rode a Specialized S-Works Tarmac with Hydro Di2 discs, and it was awesome.

Same boat you're on with the new wheel purchase haha.

I didn't catch the Dealer Book before it was pulled. Is there going to be a non-disc Dura Ace, Ultegra, or Force model?

Looks like the CAAD12 Black Inc is going to be the non-disc Dura Ace and according to the catalog there will be CAAD12 Red as well as CAAD12 Ultegra Disc/Non-Disc and 105 Disc/Non-Disc.

Cant wait to see the frame sets. I checked their web site a month ago and there was a disc frame set listed in black and white for $1100. It was removed within a day. Not sure if that was the 2016 posted early in error. I havent decided on disc or non disc. Im thinking it might be best to wait to see if there will be a standard axle setup everyone will use. I cant imagine all these manufacturers with different axles or QR. That would make neutral support, and wheel building a nightmare. But who knows.

warrior4life 07-04-15 02:45 AM

Not Vastly different to last year, different groupset options but everything else the same. Nothing super exciting.

Hi Folks
I would like to know what makes the CAAD so popular. The reason I bought mine was because I rode it and it felt real good. Quick response, agressive(to me)and effortless pedaling and, I could go on and on and on. I may have answered my own question but I'm curious to hear what others think.
