  • A novice question, are all the CAAD frame & forks in a particular range the same eg. are the frame/forks on a CAAD8 105 the same as a CAAD8 Claris? Would all CAAD10's be the same?
    Thanks.

  • caad 10: THey should be all the same yeh, it's just the groupset and paintjob that changes. I've heard from somebody that the fork changes once you get to ultegra and above. Not sure if true though.

  • No, the lower frames in the range tend to have BSA bb and aluminium steerer fork and possibly less fancy frame - Caad 8 Claris frame is 'Aluminium' 105 version is 'Optimised 6061 Aluminium' - I've no idea of the real world difference. My winter bike is a Synapse Claris frame with 11spd 105 and it's a cracking bike. You can see the specs on the Cannondale site.
