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.
That's ace. Both models only 1 degree slacker then my 9 but the high BB and longer wheelbase obviously have a big knock on effect to handling. Standover could be an issue for me.
