Yea, mine comes up to 17.75 with 1400g wheels and rival groupo.
Would be nice to build a CAAD10 to weigh 15lb or less....

I want in!

Bought last year, used, but rides great. Shes a 56cm but might want to trade up for 58cm.

Comes up to $4,000 and 15.25lb. (with 1445g 38mm Clinchers)
Could probably get cheaper if you went with used parts or discounts.

nice set up counselor. I have lots of KCNC after market parts on my CAAD9 and absolutely love them!! I do not have the seatpost however. Please let me know how you like yours if you will.

it weighs 160g, but can easily weigh 120g.

The MSRP for the Specialized Allez Comp E5 frameset is $580. I got mine for $500 even, so I guess there's a pretty good profit margin in there, but the $350 price must be from years ago.

You could shave a kilogram off of that:
1000 gram boyd 20mm tubulars (yeah WW I know) $750
KCNC crank
Syntace f99 stem(or any 100 gram stem)
Ti spindle modded Speedplays (-50 grams for like $70)

So, -100gm for tubes, -30 for stem -50 for pedals -430 for wheels -140 for crank
750
I imagine there's still ways to go, honestly I would go for rival instead of force and sell off the crank & brakes and buy more WW parts.

Well yea, you could but for an everyday bike (as I would weigh between 180-190lb.) wouldn't want to go with 20mm tubulars or Ti spindles though it would be a nice idea.

Oh.

Agreed then. :)

I'm working to get my CAAD9 to under 16lbs.
But, I might be stuck at just over 16 because I'm finding it hard to replace
my current parts with lighter bits that actually perform as well or better.
I'd happily stick with just over 16lbs if I know that that's the best I can do for the quality I have.

Adjusted for the sell-off parts, it's now costing me a solid $3,500. and I still have the OEM wheelset/fork/fr der/seat post from the original bike. I think I'm going to go another $500. to lighten it up another 1/2 lb to get it in that mystical 15lb range while keeping my relatively heavy, but comfortable cockpit and wheelset. I'm trying to strike a balance between lightweight and reliability. A 15lb bike that continually breaks on me is worthless. So, I'm going to keep an eye on what works for others and take notes. Then I'll borrow the best ideals.

I know I could've gotten it down to 15lbs cheaper and quicker, but again, I don't think the bike would've been as strong as it is now. And, to be brutally honest, I have to say that aesthetics were of equal priority to weight and performance. My CAAD9 might not be the lightest or the sleekest looking, but in the immortal words of Carl Carlton: "She's a bad mama jama!"
:lol:

Here's my CAAD.

Not so much that as my thigh hitting the cable and the cable-stop on the top tube. They seem to stick out pretty far to the side. Has anyone run into this?

It is enough to make me want to sell (or return) the bike. See my other thread on this topic.

THE CAAD IS AWESOME. Many thanks to this thread and the rest of BF for leading me to make the purchase of the most badass bike

Hollowgram SL with steel bb30 bearings and Stronglight 11 speed rings+ Tiso bolts. Mavic K10 wheels with titanium rear axle. Thomson masterpiece seat mast + stem. Columbus Muscle full carbon fork with NOS Reynolds carbon bars. Bold Precision skewers and Keywin Ti pedals.

Very nice bits. I have to ask...weight?

That'll do. :)
