You can easily spot the difference by the gear cable stops. CAAD5 has gear cable stops on the downtube, CAAD7 has them on the headtube. Yeah Optimo a bit lighter. Otherwise very similar frames. Wait for a 7
£250-300 for the frameset. People will ask more but they rarely sell for more than that.
I think it has been asked before (maybe even by myself lul) but i cannot find it:
The bordeaux Saecos of which a CAAD 5 and a CAAD 7 exist:
caad7 has OPTIMO on the seat tube and caad 5 has CAAD5 on seat tube, right?
Theres no way a caad 5 has optimo written on it?
what are the differences (except 7 is rarer than 5)?
what would be your estimated price for a 5/7 frameset including OG fork and good shape?
Many thanks guys 💝
