Creakyknees- great looking shot.
That first pic was before I got to dialing in the fit; as of today, the only part left to be installed is the front derailleur which arrives tomorrow.

What's up fellow CAAD Cutlers? I have not posted in a while, It's been a busy spring for me. Moving racing and divorce! It's hard to see in this image, but I found some Michelin Pro Race 3's that are a near match to my bikes blue. They are super sweet tires, good grip, lively feel and good wear. I have taken them on some gravel roads with no issue. Keep the rubber side down, boys and girls, and ride like you stole it!

I actually bought this to be the "rainy day" backup for the Ridley. I doubt I'll ever get into racing as I only ride primarily on the weekends(100-150 miles) with an occasional 20-30 mile ride during the week; besides work and chasing after the little ones (5yr, 3yr, 16mos) most of my spare time has been focused on shorinji kempo. I've begun training again as I took a long 6-7 yr. hiatus and now practicing and working for my 1st degree black belt.

I guess if a person is a **** mechanic or doesn't take the time to learn then I undersand........ no,forget that, buy the tools and gain the knowledge to maintain your bike!
hahahaAnother advantage of multiple bikes is that you have "spare parts" on other bikes.

I got them used so not sure what they run new. I paid $550 shipped with wheel bags and skewers. They are so much stiffer than the stock RS10s. I can't feel them flex at all. Really impressed with them so far. Rode in pouring rain and braking was good with the reynolds pads. I need to get them in some wind to see how they do. Hopefully it's not bad since I am a clyde at 205lbs.

Both Liquigas Caad10s and the Caad9/cosmic look great. I'm officially a caad cult member after taking the Caad10 out for the first time this morning. I had originally planned on a short 15-20 mile loop and to switch to the Noah to meet up with my group. That never happened and eventually turned into a 55 mile ride. I must say, this bike has me impressed as this Caad10 is as responsive as the Noah, and almost didn't feel like I was riding an aluminum frameset.

Not unless you are trading them in on a CAAD. Get off our grass (wait that is 50+)

Does anyone know the setback on the stock C3 seatpost. I am away for the week and want to order a new seatpost.
Either getting the Thomson or Ritchey carbon.

CAAD10 Liquigas Replica
Finally returning to the cult after a 3-month hiatus. My 2011 CAAD10-3 was damaged beyond repair a few months ago, so I got a new CAAD10 frame via Cannondale's crash replacement policy through the LBS. All the undamaged components were swapped over; RD and chain are brand new. After the long wait, here it is. 2012 CAAD10 Liquigas Replica frame with Shimano RS80 wheels.
