I have the bug to build something a little different so I have just sent a CAAD10 I aquired off to the painters for a custom paintjob infact itll match the Cannondale SLICE RS Blk Inc I am waiting for.

I will build it up with Hollowgram SiSl cranks, MK V rings, SRAM Red Black with the limited edition Cannondale Green highlights. Basically all the bits off my current Cannondale EVO Team build here. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=102052" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

My old CAAD10 viewtopic.php?f=10&t=91152" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

My last CAAD10 was 6.68kg the EVO was just under 6kg at best. Im hoping this CAAD10 will be around 6.5kg

Here is a pic of the frame from the painters, Ill post more as the build comes along.

looking good. keep it up.

No offence but it looks like a Canyon.

Ok, that's nice.

is the caad10 that good? ie., you are choosing it over the evo? or are you still keeping the evo and building it with 2013 parts? i guess you could swap over the 7900 too i suppose.

YES..... I think the CAAD10 is that good. Dont get me wrong the EVO is a great bike but its not that much better, the difference in price between the two frames is a fair amount and I can only really tell a difference when im out of the saddle attacking the climbs.

The white 7900 CAAD10 was sold long ago and I miss that bike, the EVO replaced it but Ive been wanting a Anodised black CAAD10 for ages and since they not doing a Mecanical compatible frameset this year, I decided to build the next best thing.

Frame should arrive at the shop tomorrow to build up.

This looks really, really nice. Zipps make it.

Colour not unlike a green version of the Black edition caad10.
How is the finish?

All it needs is a Spidering!

I think the spidering looks terrible.

Bike looks good. I like the stripped 340's. Maybe I should ripp off my decals too?

I was thinking about the spider ring but I already had all these parts and my SLICE RS Blk Inc is due to land in a week or two

The finish is GREAT, I used a bike specific frame repairer/painter that do alot of work for the big bike brands out here when they need it. Paint jobs are hard to pick from the factory finish.

I was skeptical of the paint job before I saw the finished build. It turned out great!

Striped the glossy clear and graphics off my elite cages.
