To be honest the gold kinda grew on me a bit but I ended up using acetone to remove it and got a stainless headtube badge from Cannondale Experts to still show it's a Cannondale, I like the understated stealthy look. I had some carbon wheels on it for a bit that really made it look killer but put the Ultegra's back on for now.

After more research i find the solution if i will have alot of issues with the bb30 i will install this adapter FSA BB30 to 68mm English Thread Bottom Bracket Adaptor | eBay so i can use cheap shimano hollowtech crank brackets but in order to do that i need to get a hollotech crankcase which is not expensive the hollowtech II holds up better than the bb30 so at the end im still getting my CAAD 10. There is also other alternatives like praxis works and wheel manufactures .
Thanks for the input. |

^^Nice CAAD. Something about the "Handemade in USA" frames that appeal to me. I don't want to get rid of my CAAD 7. I have thought about either painting or powder coating it though. The Paint job from 2005 can use a refresh.

CAAD5 Flatbar CX
Converted my NOS, 2002 Cannondale F3000SL into a 700c flatbar CX bike. Those 16mm pencil seatstays are like butter. Test-rode: Volagi Liscio, BMC Alpinechallenge AC01, Specialized Crux and none even comes close, to the CAADs superiority. Breathed new, useful life into the bike now. Current weight is 19.4 pounds, running tubeless:

It's just grease manufactured by Park Tools. As long as my bottom bracket remains quiet, I'll keep using it. Park Tool Co. » PPL-1 : PolyLube 1000 Lubricant (Tube) : Cleaning & Lube |

Love my 2007 CAAD 9 tiagra. Been on the verge of buying a new bike (probably synapse next vs newer CAAD) but each time tell myself to hold up a bit. This is still an amazing ride, will be sad when its time to trade up! |
stoked on getting a speed sleev and frame pump

Something's wrong with the geometry chart on the CAAD 12s? The seat tube length seems too long. For example on a 54cm, it is listed as 57cm! CAAD12 Disc Dura Ace - CAAD12 - ELITE ROAD - ROAD - BIKES - 2016
On the CAAD 10 geometry chart, it's only 52 cm seat tube for a 54 frame size. Even if the 57cm on the CAAD 12 is center to top that's still too high for a size 54. Can anyone confirm if this is really true? I'm thinking of waiting for the CAAD 12, but if they messed up the geometry I'd get the CAAD 10. |
