Hello. This is my trusty CAAD from the Western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
Currently sitting at 8.6kg as pictured, though looking to change a few things and bringing that number down to the mid 7kgs. Ditching the SRAM GXP cranks and Praxis conversion BB should free up a bit of weight.

Wow that is a “proper” looking bike! First time I’ve seen a set back post in that style look good on a road bike as well (IMO...). Nice.

I'm surprised the build is that heavy, though.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm pretty content with how it looks for the moment. Now to lose some weight without changing appearances too much.
The wheelset (T11 x TB-14s, 28f/32r, with DT Comps) is another area where I can free up a good amount of weight. Without the Garmin, handlebar bag, frame pump, and rear light, it comes in at 7.95kg.

Interesting angle on the headunit mount, not to mention the cables/junction up front and no bottle cages.wolfesquire wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 1:43 pmCaad12 - 54CM

It has Arundel bottle cages. I was cleaning the bike and had removed them to wipe the frame down and forgot to put them back on before taking the photo sorry.
What do you mean about the headunit angle and cables?
