Thought I'd start a little thread for this one...
Picked up a CAAD10 with issues via this forum for not a lot with a plan to bring it back to life.
Looks decent enough in the pic below but had mismatched forks, bubbling paint on the frame (quite bad around bottle bosses), seized bolts that required drilling out, completely shot headset bearings, perishing shifter hoods and tape, a delaminated 6800 chainset, and mismatched wheels one of which had issues with hub bearings and so on.
But underneath it was still a CAAD10 - and best of all it had a decent functioning 6870 Di2 groupset - which combined with a few wheelsets and spare parts I have to hand (and a well timed shimano recall on delaminated chainsets...) means I could bring this back to life for not a lot of extra outlay.
Below is an as bought shot, then a sneaky peak of how it currently looks - more posts to come as I build it up...
