Lovely bike. What's it like on longer rides with it having a quite aggressive ride position?

Today was the longest I've ridden on it 72 miles and felt fine very smooth for alloy frame

They are aren't they? I love the fact the carbonites think they've got it all sussed with their composite frames, when the CAAD10 proves that carbon is totally unnecessary IMO (takes cover awaiting barrage of carbon abuse!)

Here's mine, sadly currently for sale TBH due to a change in circumstances, but it was always going to be a very reluctant sale, and TBH I'm really starting to have a change of heart as I love this bike so much.

This is when I first bought her and specced her up with Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels, but I had to admit that as fantastic as the wheels are, there are just not enough spokes for me

and this is how she currently is, complete with Hollowtech II chainset conversion. Overall not as pretty as the above pic, (I do prefer the dark Ultegra chainset though), but far more functional for my own circumstances. Now to make the time to take her out

Very nice,

It does look the nuts. Very nice for your winter bike.

I'm looking to buy a carbon frame next year. I tried this year but couldn't bring myself to part with my black Caad9, it really is a great frame. I would think Caad10 is even better.

Mine says hello. Bought mine earlier in the year. It still rides like a dream, I'm sure it floats

If I may ask, why carbon? You know how good the CAAD's are already, so just move things on and get a CAAD10. FWIW mine's lighter than both the carbon bikes I've had as well

I would think CAAD10 is even better.

To quote - it is, "the world's finest aluminium road racing machine' and 'CAAD10 is not only lighter than many competitors elite carbon frames, but is also stiffer and smooter' Just saying, LINKY

I'm loving my CAAD 10 very light and smooth got it as a second bike as my other road bike is a Scott CR1 elite and got the caad10 as a winter bike but now feel IL be doing a lot of miles on it and not just in the winter

I'm not sure it's worth going from a 9 to a 10? Also, aren't carbon frames around 200 grams lighter and more comfy? (I'm looking at 100+ miles)
