"Cannondale has delivered on its promise of balance"

yawn.

Looks the same as before except slightly better.
Wouldn't complain if I had one.

On the other hand, the slate: So awesome! Hope its not too heavy...

No, me neither. I'd rather have a synapse though, it's the more useful and interesting (road) bike.

Oliver Lefty only adds about 700g. Probably about the same weight as an alu F series or a CAADX with an extra 700g of heft.

the update to the SuperSix is barely an update at all, just feeding the annual bike update cycle.

Hopefully that means they'll have something substantial next time round.

28mm clearance tho.

recon I could squeeze a 28 into mine to be honest. Also, it's a race bike, not a MAMIL chariot*

*obvious bait is obvious

I reckon next year they will probably go as aero as possible while keeping the lightest frame.

Nice piece on caad 12 here. So the disc frame will be lighter than the caliper, cray.

Could they meant that the CAAD12 Disc is lighter than the CAAD10 DIsc?

That the disc version looks better IMHO than the caliper version is well cray.

Caliper fork looks too skinny to me. Weird.

Noticed some CAAD10 and Evo full bikes having prices dropped the past few days. Anywhere discounting the CAAD10 frame set yet?

Not that I've seen anywhere yet. That CAAD10 Ultegra is down to around £1450 so could be split and you would probably make up the difference.

agreed

Don't have that much to spend, so will put some cash aside and wait for the black CAAD10 frameset to go on sale. Not fussed about the 12. Prefer the cable routing options on the 10, so can run mechanical and upgrade later without changing the frame.

Finally got it together!

FWIW Westbrooks have got some discounts on 'Dales including the 10

If anyone spots the blue / black FSi in medium for sells let me know.

Looks a bit big.

#internetbikefit

Ha, I knew that was coming. It's not, it's just I'm not that leggy, my height is mostly in the torso.

As the other guy said above, CAAD10 frame is down to £594 now at Westbrook.

Just saw someone on Upper Richmond Road wearing that Haute cycling jersey which look like the old standby screen on tv, riding the CAAD10 Track.

Green/silver look awesome, until I realised he was riding singlespeed.

Anyone got a spider lockring tool they could lend me for hollowgram crank?
