WTD: Cannondale Caad10

Rare enough they come up for sale. Never really sold well here because of the aluminium-high RRP combo overlapping with cheaper carbon frames of the day IMO. Well worth it if you can find one though. I picked up a used 58 2011 Caad10 frameset in 2017 on adverts. Bit tatty but built it up as a worry-free race rig for the open racing hustle/winter training/everyday commuter with some mudguards, fantastic to ride. Have put about 40,000km on it since. If I found a cleaner frameset I'd buy it in a flash.

I've a Caad10 52. Perfect condition. Rival groupset and brand new Shimano wheelset. Very few miles on it which is reflected in condition. Been parked up for a few years which is a waste for this bike.

Would need to ask around €1k for it tho. Let me know if that's budget friendly and I'll get some pics to you.

I'm down in Waterford. Will get some pics and send on this evening.

The 12 has all internal cable routing. I think the 10 stayed external for its lifespan other than changing to an internal rear brake for one of the later model years. The 12 is BB30A to the 10s BB30. Very minor changes to geometry. Probably some tube profiling and carbon layup on the fork etc. I remember reading a long time ago that the 12 was slightly more compliant, or less raw, than the 10 but I've never ridden a 12 to compare. I would (and will) also buy a good clean well priced 12 frameset in a heartbeat when I find the right one. Also a weapon of a frame.

Am I a fanboy, probably, one of the sister bikes in the stable is a 2016 SuperSix hi-mod. It's nice having the same geometry on the summer bike and the one that does all the winter miles.

I spotted this on one of the Cannondale Facebook groups.

Looks like he posts internationally too but the import tax might be a killer. Looks beautiful when fully built up

Does a CAAD 12 have direct mount or dual pivot brakes?

Have this caad9 available but there is a snag...seat post is rightly seized, several attempts by 2 different mechanics and myself have failed. Its a 10 speed ultegra groupset and a SLK carbon crankset. Fulrum racing 5 four wheelset. The frame feels a bit big for me , have used it over last 3 winters, never let me down. But trying to cut out anything that may be contributing to back issues. My other bikes are definitely 54's but just feel this maybe 56cm ?

Because of seatpost not expecting a whole lot . Had put a figure of €350 to €400 , to one of the mechanics if he knew anyone who was looking for a starter bike.

Cheers 👍sure I'll see if anyone interested in it.

That's acceptable in order to open dialogue.

What height is it seized at? Centre of crank to top of saddle?

And is it 54 or 56?

Top of saddle to middle of crank is set at 71 cm .

seat post to centre of crank is reading 55cm.

Ditto

Too low for me then. Someone out there must be feelin' lucky though. :)

Hi Jim

Not necessarily, i can bring it to Dublin , whereabouts you based ?

There's an offer of €320 at the moment to open dialogue.

Bike is currently in Wexford as a guy from Enniscorthy was to call to view it. How soon would you be looking to pick it up, in Dublin presumably ?

To Mods: is it okay to accept this offer as i haven't heard back from inital offer guy. ?

Hi Jim

I won't have the bike back up in Dublin till late Sunday night , I'll confirm that to you then and take it from there.

Hi nick

I sent you a PM today to see if you were still interested and also sought Mods advice as both offers were €320 and collection .

A mod has advised that the first offer from Nick of €320 should be honoured but in a prompt manner , otherwise Jim would then be offered the bike for €320.

Over to you Nick, bearing in mind i won't have the bike in Dublin till Sunday night.

That sounds fair. If Nick doesn't take the bike I would be more than grateful for the opportunity. I could offer you €330 if that helps?

Caad 9 sold to Jim Murphy 69.

All done and dusted this evening 👍
