I built my old caadx up as a winter road bike this year. Basically just threw 28mm tyres and mudguards on and slammed stem. I enjoyed it for about two rides, then hated it as it just felt like a really slow sloppy road bike. In the end I took the mudguards off and put my 37mm gravelkings back on and I love it again.
Excuse quick bad pic minus cassette…

Has anyone ever ridden one of the older canti/V-brake CAADX/CX9 models in road bike trim? Just wandering how they might compare to my CAAD9 with matching tyres/finishing kit.
I have little use for a road bike atm so the added tyre clearance and stack are looking quite appealing. Handling aside also not sure if a 12 year old ali CX frame is a good idea given what it may have been through.
