Sad times but an ongoing back injury has put an end to any thoughts of fun/fast road cycling and i'd like this out the way.
Cannondale CAAD10 frame (think 2012) with CAAD12 forks (2018) and threaded BB sleeve conversion. This is a size 54 but is from the range marketed for women and has a 10mm taller head tube which results in 10mm more stack and 10mm less reach. The fork steerer length will accommodate the low stack 5mm bearing cover and depending which stem and/or compression bung you use you may get another 5mm spacer under there. Note this would be roughly the same as standard CAAD 9/10 with a 15mm cone spacer so not as slammed as it looks.
Good stuff. It's light and feels rapid, from memory it's 200g less than my CAAD 9 frame and there's no creaking from the BB. The full carbon forks are much newer than the frame which is reassuring. It clears 28's front and rear, headset bearings are good as are the bottle cage bosses and there are no dents.
Not so good stuff. The paint, the og graphics were pretty bad so i lightly rubbed them back and dusted on some white auto paint. I had planned to strip this so didn't spend much time or effort on it and although it looks ok and polishes up well enough the paint is very thin in places (you can see the old graphics through it!). I'm also struggling to find my spare compression bung so currently the forks come without it. Subject to personal preference but the geo gives the frame a lightly different look to a standard 10 and there is a slight slope in the toptube.
