First: Wow. Looks great!

Second: i have a couple weird questions for you. What kind of spacer is that (brand), and what kind of bar ends are those.

third: Love it!

Thanks!

The spacers are Chris King Pink. However I find the cheapy Ebay spacers will do the same thing. The bar ends come with the Enve Compact bar and are attached.

Thank you very much for the info. With my bike, i feel like it is, now, a great canvas. it definitely needs some color. I plan to start small with a spacer or some fun skewers. I like what you have done with yours.

I just got a 52cm CAAD 10 and decided its too big for me. I'm 5'6" and the top tube measurement is the same as my current bike (Orbea Aqua 51cm), but it just feels a lot bigger. Do you guys think a 50cm would fit better? If there is anyone that wants to trade their 50cm for their 52cm let me know. I have the white one with the black decals, can't tell the difference between a new frame besides a barely visible scuff from cable rub.

The weight is a little over 7 kg. Not my main concern for racing in the flat Netherlands. We have to buy our own timing chip, so this is mine.

Wow that is a sick team color CAAD10. I have the 10-5 in the same color. Slowly upgrading it. Eventually will be similar but I think I am going to go with Zipp SC SL bars/stem/seatpost. Really want to get the hollowgrams but without power.

I have a real issue with how ugly my top cap is. The fsa expander is heavy and ugly, what options do we have that will keep our steerers safe?

I use the Specialized one on mine. You can use any top cap you want with it.
