I currently have a Cube axial which is great, but I fancy a change. I am considering either a Cannondale CAAD 10 femine (not available until June) or a Trek madone 3.1 WSD (carbon frame)
I have no experience of either brand, anyone have any opions on which may be the better option of the 2.

    Thanks for you reply. I'd love ultegra, but I can't stretch the finances that far so it will be 105. I

    The CAAD10 looks a superb frame, unbelievable light.
  • CAAD10 hands down.

  • CAAD 10. It's an awesome bike - I can see what all the fuss is about, not just marketing hype.

    Comfortable, light, effortlessly fast and extremely responsive without being twitchy - makes me grin when I ride it. 105 very smooth. Road holding is really good - better than my cross bike. And not a hint of pink.

    Wait until June!

    Hi Annie-D, thanks for the reply. I'm really interested with the CAAD 10. I'm getting a bit concerned tho as Evans (I wasn't going to buy from them) now has my size as no longer available. Looks like I may need to try and find out if anyone has a 51cm in stock! You're right about the pink :lol:

    being a hardcore Cannondale CAAD fan i set out with a budget to buy a CAAD9 with Tiagra. Found a Cube Agree SL2010 with full Ultegra kit got under 900 pounds.

    Haven't looked back since.

    Having said that, i would pick the CAAD10 any day
