Velonews Supposedly tested a CAAD9 in an article awhile back ("Flexing their Muscles" or something like that). Rumor is now though, that the frame they tested was actually a SystemSix. They basically tested a bunch of bikes being ridden by pro teams. This was just about the time that Barloworld and HealthNet traded in their Six/13's for System6's. My guess is it wasn't really a CAAD9, but they put that in there so people would know it was a new Cannondale frame- the one that the pro teams were riding. Other than that I have seen NO reference to the CAAD9, and I'd guess based on all the stuff that has just come out and the fact that the CAAD8 is still testing in the top-ranks of bicycle frames it won't be replaced for a year most likely. I'll start looking for them as 2008 models... maybe 2007.5 - but I doubt it.
