To compete with the Black CAAD9 thread....
This is just the newest and (hopefully) final version of my 09 CAAD9. The only changes really is the saddle, Tested a few models (Flite, SLR, and settled on a Fizik Arione and Wheels/Tires from Ksyrium SL's with Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX to 32 spoke open Pros CD laced 3 cross to some Campy Chorus Hubs, with Vittoria Open Pave' tires.
I don't care about the wight or anything. The ride is great, With the Mavic's it was pretty harsh. The Short rides I have taken with the new set up have been smoother and just as quick plus the hubs sound like angry bee's. She has been ridden in the DC area while in School, Bremerton/Seattle area for work, and is coming with me to work in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba hence the change of wheels and tires to something I can fix my self.
The Build is very straight forward.
