CAADs are excellent bikes. I've owned a couple in my time, a silver CAAD9 and then a matte black CAAD8, when they were called R1000. Same colorway as this "Retro build" photo I just found. What an awesome bike that was! Light, stiff and just handled so well. I miss that thing. Maybe if/when my crappy Venge Elite 2016 bites the dust, I'll build one up as my racing bike instead of a modern carbon spaceship.
