OK Up way to late. But the carbon flat bars came in today. Had to let every one go to bed so I could have some me time.
Well 2 Hr's later, and change of brifters and brakes I install the bars and new tape, But before that it needed new cables.
I took the 105 set off the 8 and put it on the 9 is what happened. Any way,,,, New tape, bars and set on the 8 for now.
The 9 has some cools stuff on the way. More to come.

I have never seen a caad with a flat bar and fenders but I`m new to the caad scene, I mean clut. Looks great. What kind of wheel set is that, looks like the wheels have big blue nipples on them. Oh also how do they ride, they just look cool.

Wheels are Mavic K10. All aluminum 10 year anniversity edition. Just blue presta covers. Best investment I made . They came with good tires installed and the parts are all servicable. They are fast. Here is my caad9 after its' first summer with the campy freehub on.

Figured this might be a good thread to ask (sorry if I shouldn't...I'm new here). What do you think of this deal: https://baltimore.craigslist.org/bik/2742910139.html
2010 CAAD9 Rival/compact for $800. I don't NEED another bike (currently on a Cervelo S2) but is it a good deal?

H-E-Double Hockey Sticks Yeah!
I don't prefer Rival, but I'd sell my left elbow to get that puppy!
I'd pay the $800. JUST for the frameset and the Force Crankset alone!

It's a CAAD but it's a hybrid. I have one also....Pretty neat bike. Has the feel of a CAAD road bike just a bit softer ride and the head shock system can be locked out or engaged at the turn of a knob. Mine's about 21.9 Lbs.
I want to put some fenders and bags on it also.

Yep, crazy but works. Still can't get used to it. Been on a Road bike so long the flat bars make me feel like a sail on a boat.... But any way, it has a 1.6" fork stem not a normal road size. It came with a horid stem. I had to get the 1.5 you see there and put it in the milling machine to make it fit.

Can't seem to upload a better or larger pic from URL, but here's the latest addition. Soul 4.0s with white spokes and red hubs. I know it's not taken in front of the obligatory white garage door, but the spokes got lost in the pic when I took it. Haven't had a chance to ride em yet, but that will get fix very soon.

I like that too!... You know I like my 8 more than my 9 also so nothing wrong with the 8 at all....... I don't own a 10 because it's not Made in the USA. I'm sure it's just as good but it's a principle/traditional thing. Carbon Cannondale, I would buy not made in the USA.
You would buy a carbon cannondale that was made in china, but you woudn't buy an aluminum cannondale that was made in china???
They are made in the same factory. the caad10 is a better frame than the caad9.
Just sayin...
