I'm also looking to upgrade from Spesh Dolce to a caad 10 with ultegra or the cube agree or similar model.It's so helpful to have other people's opinions on the bikes.
The CAAD is an awesome beast. I've had a Trek Madone 5.5 and a Focus Cayo Pro, (both cf), and the CAAD is lighter than both of them. The ride is equally comfortable for a race geometry frame, and I find I can ride it farther and faster than either cf bike I owned before.I'm also looking to upgrade from Spesh Dolce to a caad 10 with ultegra or the cube agree or similar model.It's so helpful to have other people's opinions on the bikes.
I think my main concern at this point is upgrading the frameset. A good quality cf frame, which I can spec up over time.
Been some damn good suggestions so far - thanks all.
Never heard of that TBH.Thanks for that, that's very helpful. I had heard on the grapevine that cannondales can be a bit unreliable.
I've got a dale and to be fair it's a fantastic bike but i did have issues initially. The bottom bracket failed after just one day and i had the full bike replaced immediately under warranty. The problem was with a faulty batch of bearings at that time.Thanks for that, that's very helpful. I had heard on the grapevine that cannondales can be a bit unreliable. I e heard them called "crash & fail" or something like! My husband has had a prob with one of the cranks which is a known prob. Have you had any exp of this? I love the look of th me caad 10,but wonder whether to go for the women's or men's (if they go small enough). Hmmmm,decisions!
if you currently have an Allez, why are you not considering the Tarmac..?
Would be interesting to know how the Specialized Tarmac 105 at £1500 would compare to the Boardman Team Carbon 105 at £1299.99.
