 The
Cannondale CAAD9 is
the best aluminum racing frame ever made. It's the only aluminum frame
that is still raced on extensively. Go to your local USA Cycling
sanctioned road event, and you may see more CAAD9s than any model of
carbon frame. The CAAD9 has larger diameter
top, head, and down tubes than previous Cannondale designs. This increases the torsional
stiffness (and stability) of the front end of the frame. In '10, this
stiffness is enhanced with Cannondale's BB30 bottom bracket. Vertical compliance (comfort) is
maintained by Cannondale's famous hour-glass seat stays. The CAAD9 is a
racing thoroughbred for those of us who want champagne performance on a beer
budget. Many of our local CAAD9
customers don't race, but enjoy a challenging ride like Brandon Gap,
Middlebury Gap, or Appalachian Gap, all less than 75 minutes by bike from our
shop. If you want to get the most out of your first "double gap"
ride, try it on a CAAD9.

Wheel Upgrades Winter Special
Okay, you've got $2k to spend.
Do you want to settle for a company's 3rd or
4th best carbon frame with 105 and a set of heavy wheels? Or do you want
the stiffest, most responsive, and most comfortable aluminum racing frame ever
made, with SRAM Rival shifters, a SRAM Force BB30 crank, and the industry's best value for real racing wheels?
From now through March 30, 2010, you can get a CAAD9
4, with a wheel upgrade that makes the CAAD9 4 race-ready for any event,
including the Green Mountain Stage Race:
 | CAAD9 frame with full carbon fork and BB30
bottom bracket |
 | SRAM Rival shifting system |
 | SRAM Force BB30 carbon cranks |
 | Wheels upgraded to Mavic Ksyrium Elite |
 | Special price with upgrade,
$1995 |
Do riders with deep rim carbon wheels coast by
you on descents, while you pedal your butt off? Do you lust for a set of
these wheels on your next bike, but bemoan a price tag that could lead to
divorce (or to the spouse taking a sledge hammer to the bike)?
If you're willing to forego a carbon frame,
this rig may not be so out-of-reach. From now until March 30, get a CAAD9
with the strongest, stiffest, and lightest deep rim carbon wheels on the market:
 | CAAD9 4 with Edge Composites
45 or 68 tubular rim wheels, $3,800 |
 | CAAD9 4 with Edge Composites
45 or 68 clincher rim wheels, $3,900 |
 | CAAD9 1 with Edge Composites
45 or 68 tubular rim wheels, $4,300 |

45 or 68 clincher rim wheels, $4,400 |
