Albert,
Other brand/types of forks will work, depending on the taper, but the C'Dale fork has specific geometry built in to it so it works with the bike's overall geometry and nature. The drops' offset, for example, is unique and important in what makes a CAAD handle and feel the way it does. Do what you find the best for you and your budget, I have seen CAAD forks on eBay frequently, not to pricey, just do a watch for them.

Narrower handlebars might be the only thing you'll have to buy.

Question for you all...I just picked up a CAAD10-3 from Craigslist with a fork that had the stem cut way too short. I was thinking of just picking up a new fork, any thoughts? Should I pick up an ebay cannondale fork or should I take this opportunity to upgrade?
For some reason, the person I bought it from for some reason thought he was a racer by cutting down the stem way down and ordering a bar way too wide.
Any other thoughts on good reliable compact roadbars?

It seems that the guy cut his stem so much that he used only 1 5mm spacer on top and another 5mm spacer on bottom. This seems odd compared to most people right?

Thanks for this. I think i'm gonna just do this, but I wanted to upload a picture of this. It seems that the headset top race is a supersix, any other anomalies that you see that may need to be adjusted?

It seems you bought a Supersix and it uses a different fork than the CAAD10! Only EVO's and CAAD10 share the same fork design.
And the stem is already on the +6° side!

This bike is not a CAAD10! Is this how your frame looks like? https://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln...9q0o1_1280.jpg

That's not his bike with the dork disc.
Interesting color scheme. I really like it except for the "incycle" logo. The hollow "10" logos are great looking.

Makes mine look fairly 'run of the mill' KRhea - fantastic build. I will be putting green cable outers on when I replace mine, that is for certain!
I recently upgraded my wheelset to some (secondhand but well cared for) Fulcrum R1s and fitted the SL-K carbon seatpost I had sitting in the shed.
cheers

[QUOTE=UCF Eric;15553924]Had the frame dropped off to me today, still needs an top cap and expanding plug.
I have the exact same frame but with the vintage tri-color 600 components. I really like your updated version. Very functional and not flashy.

I agree with you on that, not a fan of the "incycle" but i like the color of the bike and got a good deal. I think I need a new fork though, as the person who cut it before for some reason didn't leave it.

I have the same exact model(my first road bike) and boy do different wheels make it look loads better aside from riding better I'm sure. I'm a noob but will eventually get some nice wheels over stock and I like the look of those. Ksyrium I see but which model are those?

Well the rim was obviously heavier, which means accelerating with the 303s is on another level, but the hubs are both of high quality and built quite nicely.
The fork is an EVO fork which I sanded the paint off of (still not done as seen by the bit of white near the crown).
