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

What's the question? There is only one caad10-4 and it comes with Rival. Or is this about color?

A caad should be black. If not, then it should be white.

White/blue is unique to the 10-4 and looks much better imho.

I got the white and it looks great. I love black, but CAAD10-4 black looks too plain. A lot of people comment on my bike, including some workers at the LBS where I got the bike from who had not seen that color (I special ordered it from them). On the other hand, the black will not show all the oil/grime on the frame so easily.

Go with the white. The little splash of color brings things together, and the bike doesn't look as 'flat' as the black one (black one is nowhere near as fierce lookin' as the bbq caad9-4). Furthermore, although it'll get dirtier quicker, it'll also be an incentive for you to clean it more often (and provide a better indicator of where you need to clean)

Full disclosure: I just ordered one in black. I checked out the caad10 in white, and before thinking logically about it, I instinctively pulled a batman/bruce wayne/christian bale "does it come in black...". To be fair, black and white does match pretty much everything...

I understand when people ask on this board about components, technical issues, performance, etc.

I do not understand when people get on here and ask strangers to pick their favorite color for them. Really? I mean, it's a COLOR! If I ask my 2 year old what color of an item she wants, that's a decision she can make without hesitation every time.

Jeebus, if you can't pick an eff-ing color, maybe there are some other problems. How, pray tell, did you purchase your car? Were you lucky enough that it was on the "model-t" color selection scheme...i.e. any color you want, so long as it's black?

There are some frame manufacturers that only offer one color each year. You may be better off sticking with them.

Really? You want my approval on the color of your bike? You've got issues.

Black. It's the new...nevermind, black is just timeless. Matches everything and looks great.

I've been debating on whether or not to get a CAAD10-4 as well.... if I do, I'm going head first to the white/blue... just looks soooo much better.

IMO...Black.

But get what YOU want.



Personally, this is the only CAAD10 I'd ever get even if I had to just buy the frameset to get it...
(and slap a black Hollowgram on it, wheels and call it a day).

I don't think they had anodized CAAD9's. There was a black CAAD9 called BBQ, but I think the whole anodized thing is new with CAAD10.
