I’m planning on putting together a CAAD. I’ve got a hydraulic R8000 group and a CAAD13 frame on its way. I’ve read lots about the 13 and there are mixed views on performance and aesthetic. I am willing to take the punt on performance (I’ve only got time for a couple of rides a week) but I definitely don’t like the new paint job. It’s pretty boring. So my idea is to give a classic look to the modern frame.
I’ve always loved the look of the caad7 optimo saeco, so I’m think ‘apple candy’ frame with original white decals (black keyline, no saeco references) and black forks. This would look good with R8000. Or would it?
Not wanting to make a decision based on consensus, but is this a naff idea?
