I love my CAAD 9 in BBQ black. I have the largest frame 63cm. It is a very nice riding bike. Fits 28c tires on wide road rims (23mm exterior/ 19mm interior).

Technology has gone very far in the last 15 years. They should bring that one back and built in the USA as it should.
I had one that was too big so never had the chance to use one, actually sold it and the buyer is super happy with it. 3 carbon tubes and super light carbon fork. |

In the reviews of each succeeding generation of CAAD, it gets compared to the SuperSix. Verdict from most corners seems to be that the carbon sibling is lighter, slightly more responsive at the pedals, equally lively, slightly less harsh (though I never had a problem with harshness on my CAAD9), and a bunch more expensive. I've never ridden the SuperSix, so I'm curious if that's a fair assessment. Was the SuperSix Evo that good?

C'dales
I have owned a CAAD 3- painful.
Optimo - awesome Caad 12 - more awesome- still have it. Had a super six loved it - cracked it and its gone - got a newer - think its a 15 was a later generation than the first one- lighter - very nice but not appreciable better than my older one. I have been told by some folks that sell Canondales' that they think the 13 is not as good as the 12's but have no first hand experience. Never asked what good meant, to me it's mostly all about fit- |

I have no experience with any Cannondale. How they did produce that seamless looking joint between the carbon and al tubes on your red Saeco Six13 above, and the one one m_moses posted also, compared to the visibly sleeved c-f tubes inserted into al tubes (the silver one on top here) you posted earlier? Was there any noticeable difference when you rode the two models? |

You can see the little 'windows' that the tube snapped into. No glue at all - was a difficult process from what I heard. The ride on those two is about the same, but the first gen Six13 had a far better fork.

I was curious how they bonded the 3 c-f tubes and the alu tubes on your later (?) red Saeco Six13 and the one m-moses posted. The c-f and alu look co-planar on those two frames, with (with no "step" between them), and the joints do not look like simple sleeved tubes, but rather more complex. Or is the entire main triangle all c-f, partially painted/partially clear? I am referring to this detail, in m_moses' enormous photo (so I will not post it here again). Edit: maybe prototoast answered the question, above. |

I still love my caad 10 from 2011, though it mostly gets trainer duty these days!
