When do usually the new years bikes come out?
I am looking for a Cannondale CAAD10 3... But if the 2013 model will be released soon I may just wait.

yeah....its in between seasons for bike companies right now....but the good news if you can get one in your size (look at shops in your area 100km+) and you can get good deals. Now is when the companies are offering deals (Specialized Tour promo etc) and LBS are looking to discount to sell of stock that is sitting.

Last year the shop I worked for received a shipment of 80, 2012 Specialized bikes right after Labor day.

2013 bikes from the big 4 typically trickle in starting now, and then full force in late August / early September. however, it is common for certain sizes or even models to be in tight supply or totally unavailable for a few months following.

2012 caad 10's are in short supply now. you can ask your shop to call their cannondale rep. they can usually find one for you (from another shop or another part of the us), but you need to get the shop to pull some strings. the reps usually pull through.

Or maybe you're not looking in the right shops. Several old school shops near me that used to sell Schwinn now sell Giant and they stock 95% base models. They never, ever have any models over $2,000 and they're going for the 'I want better than a Wal-Mart bike but $1,000 is way out of my price range' type of customer. You know, the kind that ride the bike 3 times and park it for a year or three.

P-cad has spoken, so we now have the answer.
I do agree with him(and ColinL) honestly.

There is no such thing as the "Big 4". It's the "Big 3". Giant, Spec, and Trek. Cannondale doesn't really register on the richter scale, or at least it's far enough off the pace of the other three to not justify grouping them together like that. But I only make that comment as a result of how we look at the manufacturers across the whole industry, not out of brand preference. I like Cannondale very much, I have owned them previously and my wife currently owns one.
The 2013 early release Specialized bikes are already in the shops, some pretty good color combos for '13. Info about the rest of the line is very slowly trickling out.
Tough call with the CAAD10, is the '13 rumored to look any different? I really liked everything I saw from Cannondale in 2012.
