Finally finished the build of my summer bike. I'd considered buying off the peg with Canyon's CF SLX and Scott's Addict 10 high on the list of contenders but I got offered this frameset at a silly price so I went for another CAAD. I am riding the Fred Whitton this year and doing a 7 day Route des Grandes Alpes trip later so this bike was built with those two events in mind.

Currently tipping the scales a tad over 7.5Kg.

Frameset: Cannondale CAAD10 Anodised/Carbon Fork
Groupset: Shimano Ultegra 6800 (11-32)
Chainset: FSA SL-K Pro Carbon 170mm
Brakes: Shimano Ultegra 6800
Pedals: Ultegra 6800 Carbon
Wheelset: Shimano Dura Ace 9000 C24 clinchers
Tyres: GP4000s
Cables: Jagwire Racer
Seat: Fizik Arione VS
Seatpost: Ritchey WCS
Stem: Ritchey WCS (90 mm)
Bars: Ritchey WCS (420 mm)

    That's a nice looking bike, I have the CAAD9 and I love it, I bet the CAAD10 is better though :) That gearing should get you up any gradient (even a wall if you try hard enough), I hear good things about the 6800 groupset too, enjoy your new toy

    CAAD 10 's have internal cable routing now do they? Nice looking beastie!

    I had a early black anodised CAAD10 and sold it for a Cervelo R3. Nearly tempted to build another as they are such a great bike. I see the latest Ultegra version has a nice black/ dark FSA chainset.
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    Rear brake cable is internal.

    Remember and cover the hole in behind the front mech.

    Very nice though, I haven't weighed mine yet.

    Have got both, the only real difference is the CAAD10 is a smidge lighter in both frame and fork. Ride character is the same.
