Picked up a used caad10 for cheap. Size 52.
Gonna build it up slowly sourcing for budget ww parts.
Tempted to strip the paint and go raw. What do u think?

Strip the frame. Give it a coat of clear with some bright logos!
I guess there's worse hobbies than making a bike light? Right?

I'm lost.... I really love a raw look but by stripping the paint,it will void the lifetime warranty offered by local dealer

Love a CAAD build
I say don’t strip it raw .. just get it built and ride the hell out of it

I think I will just save the hassle and keep the original paintwork. Began parts hunting on my local classifieds and found some really interesting components.
Decided to go for 10spd, compact set up.
Found a nice cannondale branded carbon crankset. Bb30, looks like a Sram red.
Sram force 10 shifters
Sram force 10 fd with chaincatcher, I'll probably ditch it.
Sram force 10 rd, although not in the best cosmetic condition, I can live with it
Look Keo carbon pedal.
Total haul today!!

Toseek carbon bar 42cm width
