Cannondale Aficionados / Owners

Yeah was looking at those - though some people seemed to think they were a bit of cheap fix, and wiggle free from peddling.

Would certainly prefer to use the nice Ultegra BB provided (and its cheaper that way) so may go with it those.

They can't wiggle free - the preload set on the NDS crank arm holds them in place.

I think you are referring to press fit two piece converters like these

Catalogue said same as normal CAAD10 but I doubt this is the case due to the sloped top tube.

So the Roadie itch bit hard, and after building a stupid number of them for others, I thought I'd build one for myself.
This is actually my first road bike. Pretty pleased with outcome considering it's cost me under £350. Next up, Threadless-ising it.
It will fucking kill me.

Is it light? I want to build up an older dale when I've got the money and would like a nice light commuter

I can haz membership? R900 with 105 groupset and varius Planet X bits.
Btw, it's rude to make fun of someone's short stem.

Is the frame a bit too big for you then? Not much seatpost either

Chode stem and forward slammed seat AND slanted saddle. Too big for sure. Looks good though. Chromed frame?

@PhilDAS Surprisingly so. The frame is shockingly light, the forks, not so much. Hunting for some 1" carbon forks is proving to be difficult.

Huh huh erected. Chode.

Yeah, big. Would be happy if I could find the same frame in a smaller size. This one is 52 cm and Bikepedia says there were a 50 cm and a 48 cm made. I'm keeping an eye on ebay from time to time, but I'm not too optimistic that I'll find anything.
Seat stays slanted forward thank you very much. A revelation of bliss for my gooch.

Update on CAAD10 Track, they published the geometry - it's track geo.

If your saddle is slanted downwards to relieve pressure it indicate your saddle is too high. It looks like you need a smaller frame.

absolutely loving it

have been searching high and low and i thought i'd post here first..: if anyone has (knows someone who has) a 56cm CAAD9/SIX13/SystemSix frameset for sale, please shout!

Well cared for Six13 and SS are hens teeth now. You might have better luck with a CAAD but people still tend to hold on to them.

Unless you are me ..

Which gen/variant of CAAD 10 (full bike or frameset) had Di2 and mechanical compatibility simultaneously?

None.

i'm 192cm, is a 58cm system six going to be silly small (will be test riding next week)

Check the stack and reach against the Genesis?

urrrg, but that involves measuring

urrrg, but that involves measuring

wtf can't you delete post anymore?!

Genesis -

585 stack
396 reach

Cannondale -

579 stack
399 reach

So 6mm lower, and 3mm longer.

As I'm currently down in London, I thought I might check for interest in this old thing again.

That sounds good, only thing is i have a massive scoble stack on the genesis and a positive stem so its actually much more than that.

However I want something more aggressive than Jose so actually it might not be so bad

The original fork is uncut - and comes with both the original stem and the specific spacers that are required to maintain the headtube diameter.

It can, therefore, be stacktastic:
