CAAD 10 colors

bikeit65

Just went to my LBS for a look at some bikes and am really interested in the Cannondale CAAD 10 105, The shop only had it in the team replica colors but its available on the Cannondale web site in Black and the team replica colors, so does anyone here know if it can be bought in black in the UK.

I have a 2011 caad10-105 in black, with quite a bit of white on it!

I have only seen the 2012 -105 in Team colours in the UK...I think that was the only change for the 2011 to 2012 model.

Team colors it is then, porker33 are you happy with your CAAD 10? what bike did you have before the 10?

I have a 2010 madone 5.2c with DA parts and wheels.....the Caad is my "winter/2nd" bike.
Impressed with it, about as quick as the madone, feels stiff and comfortable for an ali bike....quite honestly, it is pretty much the only bike most of us ever need.

Porker33 you must work in finance or building a CAAD 10 as a winter bike

You may jest but this has actually been proven by scientific evidence and it is the reason why the Liquigas team's race bikes are painted with the team colours.

Not sure if srs but paint (especially white paint) adds between 50 and 100 grams to a frame weight, whereas anodising doesn't.
