Dream build - going back to BETTER frames...

[@dannyr333]

In 2019 I bought a CAAD 10 frame/carbon fork For $650. It's a 58cm. 2015 Caad 10 black and white in color. I built it up done upgrades on it since then. Right now it is smokin hot with HED WHEELSET. Dura ace crank with 50t wolf tooth and some 105 group set. 11 speed. Aero handlebar. bb infinite bottom bracket. Alotta trial and error with bottom brackets and crankset. Since creaking has occured but I've learned it's not the frame rather the cranksets most of the time. Anywho it is my baby and it is a really good bike. I can't believe ur making a video of a CAAD 10 bike build. I literally know exactly what ur talking about these are really good race bikes

[@davidgardener1152]

im 38 and just bought my first nice bike! hearing you tell parents to not buy their kids everything and let them work for some things later in life is great advice. to have earned this bike and now be riding it, i feel like a kid again!! :) great vid.

[@N.I.C.K.0.3]

Caad 8 and 10 have always been my dream bike because of how light it is and the geometry is just so perfect.

[@cliffwebb3211]

Absolutely beautiful machine. IMO the best aluminium bike ever produced. Caad 10.

[@madrabbit64]

I’m riding a 2007 Felt F2 that was ridden four times with one very low speed fall and zero damage. The bike scared the previous owner and he hung it in the garage and never rode it again. The bike looked brand new.I just bought it, cleaned, oiled and detailed it and it is amazingly fast and so smooth. Couldn’t pass up such a deal. Great video, nice bike.

[@peteransel2715]

Great video and presentation style. Excellent film production and editing also. Bravo!

[@rodrigovivero448]

Looks really nice. This year I finished building up a Caad9 with a DA 7900 groupset with a Mavic R-Sys wheelset. Cheers and Merry Christmas

[@unairamos74]

Challenge accepted! I’m building my first road bike from scratch next week! And it will be based on a classic Orbea alu frame, custom painted, with a 12s Chorus groupset and Cosmic wheels. So excited to see it finished!! ☺️

I love building up my own bikes. I found it quite therapeutic and relaxing. I purchased my first road bike, 2nd hand in 2019. It was a 2012 Redline Metro Classic and it was a mess of different parts. I knew nothing about modern road bikes and equipment. I researched and learned as much as I could. Little by little, I replaced every single component except the drop bars. That bike went through 3 major changes/setups. I sold it a few months ago now, but soon after that bike and learning a whole lot, I've built up 6 bikes and kept 4. That 2012 Redline Metro, 2019 Cinelli Semper disc, 2017 State Thunderbird SSCX, 2017 Nashbar Carbon 105, Ribble CGR AL and a Mercier Kilo TT. My next project I'm going to take a shot at building Fairlight Strael 3.0 with Di2. I'm addicted to this.

[@durianriders]

Nice

[@bjarnestrand-henriksen]

I bought my Caad 10 in 2014. My frame have internal routing. I upgraded my components to 105 r7000 last year. I just love it!!

[@tomraytr]

Great video - best bike channel on KZbin! Cheers

[@chrisweidner]

Love my Caad10 no desire to move to a newer, harder to work on bike, currently giving mine some love with new bar tape and new bright colored cable housings

[@Toretto16]

I ride a Caad10 fourth season now, and is by far one of the best aluminum bikes ever made. It is so light and stiff that it can catch up with many carbon frames, and is probably better than many lower to middle quality carbon frames. I had a chance to upgrade to carbon frame, to a Cannondale super six, and after a few test rided didn't notice any huge difference compared with my Caad10. I will keep riding it until it breaks, which make take a long, long time....

[@shakedydogshake]

For how big the entire bicycle industry is, there still are way way way too many people in this world, who don’t ride bikes. Bike riding is a great way to curb depression issues, and there are far and away too many depressed and angry people in this world. Love the the biking enthusiasm of this channel!

[@PatrickKend]

Bicycling saved my life both mentally and physically

[@PatrickKend]

Ii just got my 2015 Caad10 in pristine condition. Guy had it in his garage just setting there. He said he didn't ride it even 100 miles in total. I'm so in love with the ride of this bike. It will help me step up my cycling to another level.

[@Junohawk]

I'll be looking at a 2013 Caad10 in a few days, also low-mileage and sat around for years. Here's hoping it fits me well.

[@n22pdf]

Beautiful build, I just picked up a 2014 CAAD10 and intend on stripping it down and rebuilding it.. greatvid will be using this as a reference 🤩👍👏🚴🏅

[@alanstons8072]

Good to see someone who wraps bar tape the correct way. Love the video. I have 2 CAAD 10 bikes myself. Both of them are under 7kg

That’s one beautiful bike, nice job, best of luck with it!

[@bartholomeusclever]

the only road bike I own is a CAAD 10 as well ... been loving it since 2013 ... in the colors of the Liquigas Pro Team

[@christopherlewis9684]

Just acquired a 1986 cannondale SR500 frameset. Serial number indicates it was the 15th produced that year. After custom powdercoat and adding replicas of the original decals, I'm doing a modern build with shimano 105 (r7000). I'll probably wind up keeping this and selling my brand new specialized...lol.

[@mikecortes8481]

Sick build my guy! 🤙 Did the same thing with a old trek 1500 from the Lance era. I took the paint off and rebuilt with all high end race goodies! (Dura ace mechanical and carbon everything!) Was a dream to rebuild! 🚴 cheers 🍻 Also Hail Rim brakes! 😎

[@docsportello5833]

I just bought a similar CAAD10 as the one in the video and I'm planning to upgrade the 105 groupset to Ultegra. The way you built yours really inspired me! I also own a SuperSix Evo and absolutely love it, so I'm excited to see how this CAAD10 build turns out. Thanks for the great content and the inspiration!

[@thecappy]

I just put Dura Ace 9100 groupset on my 2011 caad10. Pinnacle of the old tech.

[@misterscagnetti]

Awesome job mate! Great to see a classic no nonsense frameset. I’d take up your challenge but there’s just no stock for frames and Groupsets to buy online right now.

[@antonpeterson1245]

Unfortunately no bike building this year, however I did build up my winter bike last year almost from scratch (had the lbs install the cables as I didn't have the internal cable routing kit), but was still very much enjoyable to pretty much build my first bike on my own.

[@angela-onesroman8873]

Thumbs up before I finish watching, I love these bikes, I custom built my CAAD13 and I'm about to change a couple things, carbon bars, direct front computer mount and I'm waiting for a 28mm tubeless tire for the back.

[@m.a.trophy9278]

I could watch you the whole Day. Nice video.

[@ernestaldrinespino2574]

i also have the same frame since 2017 and im not planning on changing it. it's the best frame ever.

[@forimollabao]

Fantástica!!! Uno de los mejores cuadros de aluminio, tengo uno exactamente igual para montar. Muchas gracias

[@johnruhnke]

I have a 2013 CADD 10 that originally had rival on it. I bought it to go crit racing and raced a season. I enjoyed riding in the peloton with the others and would attack once in a while but I was to old and fat to be competitive. I had kids and just could not spend enough time training. I had to work to much. I upgraded the real derailleur to Force because I needed the longer cage for a 32 cassette for some steep hills. Then the front derailleur was always junk. So I upgraded to to the Force 22 with Yaw. Finally after crashing hard into a thick mail box and destroying my shifters, I upgraded them to force too. I love my CAAD 10 with Force on it. I have had it for over ten years now and it still looks great!! I clean it often and wax the chain. I have another cheaper, heavier bike that I ride everyday but once in a while if it is sunny out I take the racing bike out for a spin.

[@TboneTenEighties]

I did a complete build last year with a new 2016 caad 8 frame/fork and i absolutely love it. It's truly an amazing aluminum frame. I'm going to do a video of it at some point. Building your own bike from frame/fork is the ultimate experience imo.

[@dominicbritt]

That's a proper road bike Danny. I've been looking for one of those frames for a long time...

[@EryPrihananto]

This bike is more beauty than every bike on market now, for me 😁

[@hornet224]

Very interesting classic bike build. Please make a riding video of it for us to see and experience. I own a Cannondale Quick Si with the same kind of graphics from that era with mountain bars and I love how it rides like a Cadillac. The new gravel bikes just don't compare in my personal opinion. Oh, by the way, the 2022 CAAD13 105 Hydro Disc I bought is so much FUN to ride I can't get off of it.

[@richcole3931]

Genius cable routing tips

[@ignaciogps]

I have my 2012 caad 10. I have upgraded last year to 11 speed using the ultegra 6800 from my giant TCR that was upgraded to di2. Important improvement on braking power since 6700 are not double pivot calipers. Caad 10 is a top frame. I remember very well the first I rode it. Instant acceleration still comfortable bike. Love to see videos about Caad 10.

[@hanyaoyap1826]

Sick build.. Yup, when riding on bike There are much happiness

[@brianwilliam8971]

Love my CAAD10! I have a black and green 2015 model with the internally routed rear brake cable.

[@terbennett]

I own two CAAD10s and one CAAD12 . I prefer the CAAD10 too. Your frame is actually a 2011-2013 frameset; 2014-15 CAAD10 has internal rear brake cable routing.

[@SergioGarcian_n]

Why? Just recently got a CAAD12 and wondering what I'm missing.

[@terbennett]

@@SergioGarcian_n From a riding/racing experience perspective, I think the CAAD12 is the best aluminum bike you can buy. It does ride slightly smoother than the 10 due to the skinnier 25.4 seatpost vs. The 10's standard 27.2. Also the CAAD12 uses the newer BB30A vs the older, narrower BB30 used .oon the CAAD10. The frame is also slightly lighter on the CAAD10. The CAAD12 is an awesome machine. Why do I prefer the 10? Well, if I want to replace the seatpost, 27.2 is more common than 25.4. Same goes for the CAAD10's BB30 vs CAAD12's BB30A. BB30A is the newest version, but it is proprietary to Cannondale at this time. Don't get me wrong; BB30 started out the same way, but many companies have started using it in the past 10 years, so there are more options for replacement parts. However, the biggest reason for my choice, is the CAAD12 has all internal cable routing, which makes it less service-friendly. Internal looks cleaner, but replacing cables can be a headache

[@SergioGarcian_n]

@@terbennett Thank you! Since I do all my bike maintenance I find internal cabling annoying as well, but can live with having it only on one of my bikes. Using it for racing is the main reason I got this, hopefully my legs can keep up with it.

[@terbennett]

@@SergioGarcian_n You're welcome! You picked an awesome bike! Even the carbon-only crowd will agree with that.

[@dgood911]

agreed - its a 2013 - you can see it in the Cannondale bike catalog archive on p7 of the 2013 Road catalog for USA/Canada or p63 of the Europe catalogue ;)

[@MapleYum]

Just bought my first road bike (a used trek emonda alr 5) at 38 and I want to learn how to maintain it so I can’t teach my daughter too. Thanks for all the tips!

[@spdaltid]

I got a 12 after my SSix Evo frame broke. An improvement! After messing - and winning! - with the internal cabling I can appreciate the benefit and simplicity of the 10....

[@Chungleas]

I've got a 6710 short cage rear mech working just fine with an 11-32 cassette. Nice clean bike.

[@DavosPessos]

Challenge accepted and done lol... as they say been there done it, T-shirt on the wall 🤣🤣🤣 I built 4 ( sold one ) over the lockdown/ slowdown period two with DI2, hydraulic disc brakes and the 3 one was just spare parts I had knocking around from a previous upgrade and I have ridden all 3 and love em 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾😁

Gratulacje! I enjoy so much your builds and videos from Spain.

[@8rk]

Love CAADs. I do wish 12 had external wires. But I also wish 10 didn't have a HUGE gap between front wheel and downtube. But I'm nitpicking. They are all beautiful bikes for the most part.

[@Papaciclista]

I love your dreambuilds please keep going

[@panagisloukatos7799]

Challenge accepted last year... hahahaha. I built a CAAD12 rim from scratch with a brand new 105 R7000. Used wheels manufacturing BB30A adapter for Shimano and Fulcrum Racing 4. Boy that thing cannot flex despite my 82kg

[@revco196]

Just built up a CAAD9 with a mix of 6700 and 7000 components. One thing I don’t like with the post CAAD9 fames is the thick welding at the tube joints. Detracts from the sleek lines of the bike. Anyway, nice looking bike.

[@yunussuleman9690]

hi there so nice and step by step and slowly explain Thanks, good video

[@richardggeorge]

As a CAAD10 owner I endorse this video (except for the BB30 BB, my frame was undersized)

[@Sr.D]

My good, classic seat stays looks so much better than dropped ones...

[@BrianRPaterson]

I love a clean Cannondale frame. I have a CAAD3 myself, which is still going strong after 22 years. I think the max tire size for a CAAD10 is 30mm, so it's not for me? These days I prefer at least 32mm or 35mm to cope with crap roads. But I'm still enjoying this video! Live long and keep pedalling

[@hopfag6555]

@3d cyclist does the frame fit 27.8mm external width rims? Such as the winspace hypers?

[@Kinnup7]

Great content. Liked and subscribed. I plan on purchasing a used Cannondale CAAD10 for my first road bike. Loved following this build.

[@detmer87]

Comfort is really compromised by those carbon spokes. I think you should fit a Ergon CF3 Pro seatpost or something simular.

[@JamesCanavan-wl5ev]

I have a 2013 CAAD 10 with original Fulcrum racing 7 wheelset 21mm wide with 25mm tire max to clear brake bar horizontally... You can manipulate the brakes to accommodate a few mm extra rim width but how do you go to up 7-8 mm with the hyper rims?

[@chimdegu]

you are literally the bob ross of bike building

[@MrAurel40]

i've bought a Cannondale caad9 (frame , fork and old groupset) , so that i don't have to use my Trek Emonda SL5 to go to work. This Cannondale will be use for work and second bike in winter. I've bought a new FSA head set because some parts were missing and this day i've a problem to install the crown race. I don't see it in your video.

[@svenverduijn4621]

I had the same groupset on by other bike and its really nice shifting and breaking

[@richardggeorge]

Safety Tip: replace the original CAAD10 stem as it cuts into the fork over the course of 7 years. It doesn't have enough material on the inside

[@yonglingng5640]

Using a different steerer tube expander plug allows maximum steerer tube reinforcement. The stock one sucks.

[@dan_lazaro]

I can't remember if I've already commented when this vid dropped, but I still remember as a kid looking at the Caad 8 bike in a store and really wanting one. I have a Synapse now which I want to trade in for a CAAD 10 but I'll keep an eye out for one in my size. I'm also concerned that the tires I have won't fit in a caad 10 because they rub on the Synapse when my wheel with some play flexes while dancing.

[@dsonyay]

Very good video. I have a CAAD 9. Love it

[@mkche9124]

Very nice build!! What’s your reasons of choosing CAAD10 or CAAD12 frame? Like to understand the insight 😊

[@yonglingng5640]

External routing is probably one of the reasons.

[@rapidrick]

Where did you find a new caad10 frameset ?

[@adammeyer4928]

eBay allows you to save searches, so any time someone posts a CAAD10 in your size you get an email. Once a year someone will sell an unused frame

[@randomcontent2469]

This is surely better than carbon

[@mattsidebottom7603]

I want a new stem on my caad12 to make it look parallel with the top tube. What angle dont need? Ive seen some people say -17 looks like it angles towards the ground

[@yonglingng5640]

Check your CAAD12 size's head tube angle, then use 90° to subtract that number, the final answer will be the negative rise you need to have the stem body parallel to the ground. You won't be able to find that specific negative rise, so you can only get the closest match.
