Really. It's nothing to get all heated about.
Not everybody is going to like your bikes.
They are just bikes man. That's it.

With the new rear triangle (read SAVE chain/seat stays), the frame absorbs more road buzz than the super six that preceded it. Thus more muted, or smooth.

I try to provide people with relevant information to their questions based on research and real world experience. When I read many of your posts I see that you try to compare your bike to every situation and post pictures and brag about it in almost every thread you post in. The difference between you and I is that I provide information based on evidence while you speculate most of the time and refuse to respond to reason from multiple people, not just myself. I have just been the first to really call you out on your unreasonable and irrational arguments. I believe it is people like you who help contribute to the thought that the 41 is a joke. I try to raise the bar of helpful information when I can and you help to detract from it. I don't know why you do this, it may just be that you've dug yourself a hole too deep to get out of. Regardless, all my attempts of persuading you has resulted in this petty feud and I refuse to be a part of it anymore as it helps nobody. I'm going to stop posting in this thread so I hope nobody misses my constructive answers to their questions. I also hope that someday you will see reason and see your mistakes 2ndgen. I also hope you learn to construct a solid argument and use real evidence and not biased speculation. Sorry to everybody else that it had to come to this.

The bike is sick, I have put thousands of miles on it. I have done several century rides on the bike and felt great afterwards. Worth every penny of upgrades I put into the bike.

Don't worry; we all know already that 2ndGen is the biggest CAAD fanboy around these here parts, and not only do we take everything he says with a grain of salt, we follow it up with some lime and tequila. ;)

Ding ding…that exactly what it is.

I have owned both, and can speak from experience rather than internet ignorance. Every time I post up about the differences of the two fan boy always comes back with a childish gif or stupid video rather than a real adult response, IE the same thing he just did with Zitter.

JoeyC68 12-11-11 05:29 PM

I'm new to this forum, however, I do have a question for you 2ndGen: Why are you refering ziter to the RIF website? Does he spell poorly? Just curious. By the way, I noticed you mispelled "pitiful" There's nothing more pityful than. Was this done as a form of iliteration? Just wondering.

Hi all. I just put my tried and tested Blue RC5 on the shelf for a new CAAD10. I am going to start racing again this comming season and wanted something with bang for the buck. I have to say that I am very plesed with my new ride. I made some changes to get it just the way I wanted, and I believe i have it dialed in. Since building it two weeks ago, I've already put in almost 600 miles on it. Five hour rides are great; I find that I don't have the same level of fatigue i got on my Blue on rides of the same duration.

CAAD10 4

Upgrades

Fizik Anteres saddle
FSA SLK seat post
Bontrager SR Stem
Zipp Service Course SL handle bars
Cannondale SL crank with SI rings
DT Swiss Tricon 1450 wheels
Look Keo 2 Max Pedals
Dura Ace 11-21 Cassete

Weight before: 17.4 lbs
Weight after: 15 lbs

that looks great

JoeyC68 12-11-11 05:49 PM

Thanks! I really like this bike. Myprevious bike was a good Crit bike but got a little uncomfortable on longer rides. My CAAD corners as well as my Blue, is lighter, and does not have the road buzz. And..... BB30 with the SI/SL crank is awesome!

:lol:

Nah! I shut the drama down! I stop feeding them. They fizzle out. Game over.
I think I do a good job at keeping this thread from becoming flame central.
When I see them get overheated, I withdraw and watch them explode. Mind boggling.
Don't like someone's bike and they take it personal with complete strangers.
You could never beat them in their mind, so all one can do is, well...

Because I answered his posts and he missed it.
I was encouraging him to seek help at that site.

To answer your 3rd question, no.

BTW...you misspelled "zitter", "referring" and "misspelled" while pointing out my error.
Was this done as a form of iliteration (whatever iliteration means)?

Joey, since I know how much you care about errors in posts,
I thought you'd like to know that you combined "Myprevious" (two words).
Don't get me wrong. I'm no Grammar Nazi and I couldn't care less about people making mistakes in their posts, but since you seemed so concerned with others' errors, I'm sure
you'd want someone to return the favor.

I have no interest in the ongoing pissing match, but have a serious question:

I must have missed those posts. How would you summarize the difference between the two?

I'm just curious - I have a CAAD 9, and don't plan to replace it with a 10 or anything else in the near future. But I'd like to know how you compare them.
