So i bought a caad12 (2019) - purple in the sale

[PorkRind]

And am now trying to make it look a bit more interersting, i.e. dark green bottle holders and similar TI bolts but for love of god i cant find such a thing..,.


Im so glad i bought it though, it handles like a demon and isnt that much slower than my cipo on acceleration. A beautiful and in the sale, good value bit of kit.

Thanks

Try Supacaz for bling bar tape and bottle cages. I put a lightweight bar and stem on my CAAD12,also some better wheels and the bike came alive, I love it.

Big fan of these as I mentioned on the C63 Facebook group (Mark with the Parlee :wave: ). My mate loves his so much, he's going to take his to the Alps next week instead of his SuperSix hi-mod Dura Ace Di2 (rim brakes). He's loving the carbon wheels and disc brakes.

Photos please.

That is stunning. I have a CAAD9 which I love, so fast and surprisingly comfortable, I always stated that I would only upgrade to the current model. However mine is black such is the current trend and I find it very boring. I love this purple!!!


Go full on 90s Klein style, so anodised blue post/bars, Ringle bottle cage and QR, then pop on carbon deep rims and that would look delicious.

Keep us updated

I love that bike. When I got into cycling in the late 1980s, aluminium Cannondales were my dream. I did get one of the first aluminium Treks which I remember fondly but I'm promising myself a top of the range aluminium Cannondale soon. The fact that I already have a titanium bike makes no difference. Carbon bikes mean nothing to me.

Thanks,

shes a bit of a beaut. Just needs some finishing bits .




Ive been looking at SuperCaz bits, but cant seem to find a dark sparkly kinda bottle holder or bolts. Dont wanna go fluro green !

Love that! Looks fantastic, some great deals on these now that CAAD13 is out.

I have a CAAD12 105 and absolutely love it.

I keep it in France and am tempted to get a CAAD13 at home in London I love it so much.
