Newbie here; I've enjoyed trawling my way through this thread and do like the look of the fluoro caad12 above [emoji1362] (amongst all the others).
Thought I'd share my 52mm caad9 that I've owned for about 9 years now and recently given a makeover with new ultegra gruppo, ksyrium sl wheelset and enve 2 fork (the old ultra was flaking paint and was a little structurally concerning).
Other notable changes are Thompson stem and seatpost, and SI saddle. Continental GP4 tyres - 25mm. DA pedals.
Rides like a dream.
7.5kg. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for further weight saving. Possible areas are; stock bb, headset, and FSA aluminium bars?
Thanks for looking.
Keep up the awesome CAAD builds!

Ahh yeah lets have some CAAD9 love Nice build there calv1n
Mine was around 7kg as pictured, she went down to 6.7 with my tubular 303s. My old build thread with detailed weights is here - might give you some ideas where you can save some weight . She went through several upgrades / rebuilds over the years

Are those sky blue stickers on the wheels or is it just the light??

Yes, they are sky blue, ordered them on ebay I think.

thank you. probably going to be easier to go aftermarket then finding a fork for sale. Shame cannondale doesn't sell forks individually.
