I think it was a Giant dog
|
...next time, I'll bring a camera to take some pictures of where the dog lives, just for $#!+s and giggles...I don't know how close I can get to the dog itself though,...the zoom feature on my camera might not be good enough...we'll see..

2ndGen, I just wanted to let you know that a) I could stare at a CAAD9 in BBQ ALL DAY LONG. Omfg, they're so hot b) I need one right about now. If I lived anywhere near CT, I'd probably pull the trigger on this right now. Or even better, lived anywhere near NY. >.< Is yours a 56cm? My inseam's 31.5" and my height is 5'11" (all that I can provide right now). I'm thinking a 56cm frame would be ideal? Obsessed, and I don't even own one. : \ |

Great group as is (Rival w/BB30 Force Crank). I believe they are 17lbs stock. IMO, it's worth it. If you wait, you may be able to find another example for less, or it may be a long time before another 56cm BBQ CAAD9 comes along. I was broke when I got mine, but I had to get it. It was way worth it for me. And yes; mine is a 56cm. I have about the same inseam as you. __________________________________________________ And now, allow me to enable you! :lol: http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/...D9/Bike014.jpg http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/.../Bike004-1.jpg http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/.../Bike009-1.jpg http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/...D9/Bike011.jpg |

My first build. 2007 CAAD9 frame with just about every significant comp picked up either either lightly used, late model, discounted, or already in my drawer! Just waiting on bar tape...pedals and cages would probably be helpful too.
I intended it to be a winter project, but I just got too impatient! http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=230676 Of course, I had to dress her up in nice shoes for the photo shoot...:D |
^^^ I like that color blue. Looks like white pedals would go perfectly with that build too.

Just back from riding today and got to looking at my bike and noticed that in the black letters there is blue and green pearl. I never noticed it before but in the sunlight you can see it. I was hoping that it would show up in a picture but if you look in the corner of the N you might be able to see it. I just thought that was kinda neat.

yup, i saw it. My smoke gray synapse as those in the paint.

I'm colorblind. I still can't tell if the graphics on my BBQ CAAD9 are gold or silver.

Money concerns...How much is "too" much?

Very nice looking ride! |
I live in Indiana. Our bike club encourages calling the police/sheriff to report unrestrained dogs chasing bicyclists. After two warnings, the authorities will take away the dog the third time.

I went for a 3 and 1/2 hour ride on my CAAD 10 today because it was my day off...I went to downtown Chapel Hill, NC...on my way there, a medium sized dog started barking at me and chased me for about 20 feet...there was a van coming down the opposite side of the road and almost ran the dog over (I didn't mind if that would have happened,...I have no sympathy for dogs who are trying to bite me)..the van had to completely stop because the dog wouldn't get out of the way...speaking of animals getting ran over, I saw a lot of dead squirrels flattened by cars and trucks, poor harmless creatures. I had to go by the same road where the bad dog lived on my way home...my only defense is to pedal as fast as I could, or give the dog a kick if all else fails...this time around, the dog was inside its fenced yard...what a relief

Specialized All Conditions Armadillo Elite
Just replaced them on my 2008 Sirrus Pro. NEVER had a flat. 6352 miles and they STILL had some life left. But, they are very heavy tires and they do not roll very well either.

the reason why I tried buying the Gatorskinz is because of their durability and are considered high mileage tires.....are there any other tires that last longer than the Gatorskins?

I thought that blue thing over the rear tire was a rack at first. great looking bike.
|
I think I decided on a CAAD10 5 or maybe 4 for my next bike.
What would be the best price I can get on one of these? I am going to start going around to bike shops in my area and see what deals they have. Not sure what price is considered good though. Thanks. |
