Very porn worthy build. How do you find the performance of the EE brakes vs the DA ones?

Looks great, nice work.

Looks like there's loads of tyre clearance here. What's the largest tyre a CAAD12 will take?

I've got 30mm corsas on mine.

At 6.6 kgs

How!! Lovely build

Many thanks guys! Pretty proud of how a mediocre low budget rim brake bike can turn our if you put some thought into it

@hugo7 I used Ultegra R8000s and to be honest I cannot sense a decrease in performance. Have to add I am 77kg and ride mostly flat tho. Adjustments of the calipers go without tools so thats a super cool feature (lots of fakes around tho, be careful)

@elswick @MrBaklava Rear is 28mm on a 17mm internal rim. Limiting factor is def. The chain stays. Brake bridge and fork would easily take more than 30s

Unfortunately I dont own modern rims to properly test it

Re how i achieved 6.6 check my projects thread for the parts list (or check @caadastrophe on insta as its in the caption of the post)

Very well done. But it's the cockpit that drew my eye, perfect set up.

6,6 with alu frame and assioma's? Far out.

The SQLAB bars are the best bars ive ridden so far.. not super weightweenie (240g at 380mm like mine) but you can get them in sale for 180-200

Plus theres an internal version now, too

R312 is the model

Thanks - they're FSA omega compact handlebars, I really really like the shape and I seem to have an easy time getting a nice feeling transition. 4deg flare so 360 at the hoods and 380 at the drops for these (marked at 380). Often available for <£35 too!

Fuck yes.

Ready for the inclement weather >:(

Any interest here for a Super X Hi-Mod in a 56 for... ONLY £250 for everything in the picture plus all canti hanger bits and a set of Tektro 720 Cantis. Can also come with a Shimano 105 5700, 10 speed groupset for £300 if preferable?

This was my very light, very stiff, very fun commuter until some lovely person relieved me of my handlebars and brifters whilst locked up outside one day.

Live south east, work tower bridge. Cash on collection preferred. Can deliver / meet up within reason.

@PhilDAS @ElGonzo \m/

That's ace and I do love cantis, but sadly I would be relieved of one of my limbs if I bought another bike :(

Yeah rad, haven't got the space for it 😞

I've run out of hipsters

Found a CAAD5 in decent nick, £140 a good price?

Yep, absolutely! Sell the groupset and wheels, treat it to an upgrade and bike for life

They listed the wrong frame size :'(
