Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

This just fell on my lap this weekend as I wasn't really looking for another bike, but what the hell I'll add it to what I ready have not that I really need another bike but this came so cheap as it's near brand new. I have a Litespeed Ti also a Seven Ti as I haven't owned any of the mainstream brand as this will complete my collection as I'm now joining the CAAD Cult:

Welcome aboard.
And I'm liking CAAD8's.
That's a nice paint scheme.
Very tasteful.

stuck @ home working today and inspired by K. Legaspi's post, I finally threw on the tubulars for a quick pic (still w/campy cassette) -


(sorry again for the crappy indoor pic..)

15.6lbs as pictured, a little less than 1lb saved from the fulcrum clinchers. I guess for the price of the Yishuns, I can't complain!

What is it? A 56?

You're going to HAVE TO let me take it for a spin when I get back to NY bro!
No snow right now in West Virginia. Going hill hunting tomorrow.

Wheels look great!

Thanks. It's a ridiculously "cycling friendly" place.
Lots of roads to ride and lots of trails (like 800 miles worth).

Some really nice looking CAADs guys.

DGlenday- Sweet color scheme. With some newer parts and some carbon wheels it has the potential to be a real jaw dropper. Oh, and the saddle bag can go to.

Hard to envision that. I enjoy riding it too much! Would be very hard to replace. It was ordered as a factory frame, That's why it doesn't have all that superfluous writing on it.

I'm working on getting an EVO Red.
Still, the 9 will never leave my side.
So, I understand.

That black on polished silver finish is gorgeous. It reminds me of vintage WWII/Jet-era bombers.

Nice! How much did you pay for the frame? Possible to get one now?

Also, what handlebar are you using?
