I couldn’t resist and bought one of those CAAD 10 disc frames from Evans. I’ve built it up with SRAM Force, Juan Tech hydro-mech disc brakes and Cosine wheels and it is superb. Agile, fast and comfortable.
I bought it as a poor-weather alternative to my Supersix Evo and while it may be slightly heavier and marginally slower, the frame has a real zing to it and is a lot of fun to ride.
For some reason though it was a bit of a pig to build up. The internal cable routing is a pain, it was a struggle to get rid of the play in the headset, and the bottom bracket….well it’s a BB30.
All in I must have paid £1200. The equivalent Ultegra CAAD 12 (but with full hydraulic brakes) comes in at £2k. Not a killer deal but I’m happy.
