Park Grease

It's just grease manufactured by Park Tools. As long as my bottom bracket remains quiet, I'll keep using it.

BB30 is one of the easiest BB's to work on. Make sure you have the right tools. Get the Park BB30 removal tool and a bearing/headset press. Don't jerk around with one of those long bolts and an...

Good job on that. Nice 1" fork upgrade. I love the geometry and those smooth welds on the older CAAD's.

I'm 5' 10" with the same inseam. The 54 cm CAAD 10 w/ a 110 stem works perfectly for me. I have room to spare as well.

If I need to remove a wheel, I have to deflate the tire to 40...maybe 50 psi. That's the only hitch but...

If you're going to strip it down, why not just convert to 10-speed? The Rival group must be 10-speed if it's a new take-off. Finding 9-speed parts in black will be difficult unless you're going...

13 to 14 lbs? I'll guess closer to 17 lbs but it's still a nice bike. $1,900 and no bids. Make an offer. You have nothing to lose.
