Hello everybody,
I'm thinking about getting a new bike. Currently ride a Planet X Pro Carbon, I have no complaints but want something a touch better for Sunday Best so I can relegate the Pro Carbon to everyday trainer.
I like the look of the CAAD10 and 12 - can someone briefly explain the differences between the two framesets? Is it just a matter of weight?
I would really like di2, so my thinking was to potentially buy something like this - http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/road-bikes-c5/road-c37/cannondale-caad12-ultegra-3-elite-road-bike-2016-p13860/s39900?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=cannondale-caad12-ultegra-3-elite-road-bike-2016-size-58cm-size-58cm-c13246m5058&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&gclid=CIeQvKWaoswCFasV0wodTaEF7w sell most of it except frame and then replace with di2 - is this model frame the same as that of the more expensive (yellow) DA bike they do?
My initial thinking was that I would need to save up quite a bit more money and then go for something like a Canyon Ultimate CF SLX, but from everything I read there seems to be the consensus that these CAAD's can offer comparable performance to most carbon frames. I'm not hugely fussy about weight, so long as it doesn't end up ridiculously heavy.
Input would be appreciated, cheers!
