THE GREAT 8
You’re done being a “rider”—you want to be a “cyclist.” You want to bump up
a level on the club rides. You ditched the cut-offs and t-shirt for padded
cycling shorts. Yup, you’ve caught road-bike fever. May we prescribe CAAD8.
With its lightest-in-class frame, more forgiving Heads-Up Race geometry and
tubes inspired by its CAAD10 sibling, your ambition will be swiftly rewarded.
