My CAAD9 is a 2009 version, standard English BB, full 105 5600 group. Noice. I'd rather have standard English on it to be honest. If it was BB30 I'd upgrade it to Force, but I'm leaning towards 5700 and putting the spare cash into wheels.
The 5700 on my CAADX is spot on - really nice feel to the shifters, spot on shifting and the trimming on the LHS works really well unlike 5600 where it was hit and miss to say the least.
