i think you wont be let down. One of the few models that Cannondale actually still hand build in the USA you'll be hard pressed trying to find someone out there who has anytghing bnad to say about the brand, in particular their alu frames. They are the pioneers of alu rd bike frames. Id go CAAD 9 if i were you...(Iown a CAAD 5 and am very happy.
Ps> Why dont you go carbon? Just asking

hi variance how does caad9 perform on hills?0
-
Well I live in the trough of bowland, so its all hills here and the Caad9 is excellent. Feels light and nimble but also fast on the flat0

hi variance think ill opt for the caad 9 really caught my eye, how long you been riding one? is it a comfy ride, hoping to do ryedale rumble in august, cheers its 71 miles0

thought it wuld be worthwhile mentioning that we had a blitz fest down to brighton and back today and three of the riders in our group raced in the mens elite at last nights Smithfield Nocturn. - One of those guys was riding a CAAD 9 and when I asked him what his race bike was he said this is it!
You cant go wrong!0
