Welcome to my CAAD8 build thread
This will be my commuter/winter/and maybe race bike. The frame is a 54cm and it looks brand new. Previous owner took great care and didn't ride it much. It will be built with my spare parts like Sram and Neuvations wheels I have as back-ups. Complete build list and weights to come...

I've got an 04 CAAD8 that still sees about 3000 miles a year. Best alu frame ever! Glad to see yet another one getting back on the road.

This should be good!

Thanks! Slowly coming together. Need to pick up a clamp adapter for the FD. The one I have is too small. The PRO EVO Stealth bar might be replaced with either a classic or compact bend bar and the saddle is temporary as well. Will probably transfer the Romin Evo from my other bike.

That looks stunning! Love the coulors.. Black and grey

Nice frame.

Thanks everyone

Bike is finished for the most part. Still need to stop by the LBS to trim the steerer a bit. I replicated the fit from my BMC SLR01. The CAAD8 has a 1/4" shorter head tube but with the cone headset cover the front end is now equal. I may need to get a set-back seat post at some point as well. No weight yet but it's coming. My guess is mid 16lbs but we shall see. Here is a quick shot before the first ride:

Build List

Cannondale CAAD8 54cm
Cannondale Premium Slice fork (carbon steerer, alu. drop-outs)
Sram Force Shifters
Sram Force Rear Derailleur
Sram Force Front Derailleur
Sram Force Crank w. 53/39 rings
Sram Rival brakes
Shimano Ultegra 12-25 cassette

As pictured above it comes in at just about 16.5lbs. Not too bad for a build from spare parts.
