The battle wound is from rubbing, not dropping.
I'd say he tried to fit in a narrow space going too fast.
I've rubbed fences, & walls dodging road crap, & cars a few times to know that scar.
Congrats on joining the Cult!
I'm currently looking @ the CAAD10 Black INC, its at a place I'm trying to get a side job @ on clearance.
Still undecided on going with the CAAD10 or going CF.
As you can see from my collection/stable, I have no brand loyalty.

I'll tell you what the other posters are too polite to say: It's past the autumnal equinox...you missed the boat on buying a new CAAD10. Better luck next year.

I would be shocked if that was from anything else other than the ground. That lever has been scratched down pretty deep and at an angle that would only make sense if it were sliding on its side. I dont believe (Could be wrong) that hitting a wall in a tight space would be able to get that angle.
Still want to see a picture of the entire bike.

You think?
IMO its to smooth to be road rash, I don't see any pittting from the impact. Even the rubber on the hood is smooth.
The previous owner could've taken a grinder/orbit sander to it to try to clean it up I guess.
Remember this is the same side as the RD, I'd like to see pics of the RD to go more CSI.
If the RD is messed up, its road rash. ;P
It almost looks like its was sanded with 36 or 60 grit sandpaper.
I sand, & polish hardwook daily as my job.
I 2nd the request for full pics of this CAAD10!

I used to road race motorcycles and when people would crash on the road, their metal parts would be taken down smooth like that. I would put money on that lever being rashed by the street.

I bought the bike...look what you guys made me do!
Everything on the bike seems fine except some pretty bad dings on the left shifter and saddle:
Supposedly it tipped over but it looks worse than that, however, the frame was pristine with no scratches or dents...that and the shifter shifts and brakes fine. Anything to worry about?
In addition, it seems the chain is a tight, but sure fit on the .75 side of my chain checker, so I will be replacing that. Cassette seems fine though.
Aside from the above, everything is great. Unfortunately, I can't take it out until next weekend...but I guess I am part of the club now

Here's what I have: The seat is a prologo that came stock on the Silver and Black CAAD10 - it has zero miles. The shifters are either brand new or have just a few miles on them but they are perfect. Email me riveragaryj@juno.com

I had Bb30. Creaked a lot in the beginning. They finally adjusted/lubed/torqued it correctly after 5 times. It is a pia. It works when it's put together right, but every person or most every person that has a cannondale in my club has had to go back for noise. Like I said, it works when it's perfectly torqued/lubed, but the cartridge types are much simpler than this stuff. Buy a giant. Your stuck with fsa crap on cannondale too.
Grats on your new bike, Giga! Looks great. Also, Longbeachgary is an awesome, AWESOME guy.
Enjoy it, ride the hell out of it, and keep the pics coming!
Also, invest in a clipless pedal system, you'll thank us later
