I have a 2014 CAADX (upgraded from a 2014 SuperX) that's a total frankenbike and I use it for everything.
Today I did a hill sprint workout on the road after riding it through a mile of thick snow and 100m of a 6inch deep river in a wildlife refuge.
Tomorrow I might throw racks on it and ride it into work then ride it on the trainer when I get home just to remind myself I can.
But that's not even CLOSE to the end...
- It's sand-blasted to bare aluminum.
- I sanded the fork down to carbon.
- It has aero bars on it.
- I shift with a friction shifter epoxied to TRP SS levers.
- The BB is a thread-together with external bearings because **** BB30 and the cranks are e13 xcx race because I'm a recovering WeightWeenie
- The cables are full external and electrical-taped to the frame
- And when the aero bars aren't there I use a RouteWerks handlebar bag and the thing is a TRUCK.
But I just can't get over that it's QR disc. So I stay up at night sweating, thinking about how sturdy it would be if it were Thru-Axle...
