Was my next question… ridden it in the wet? ![]()
haha - nope
The front’s pretty good but the back lacks feel and modulation (though the rear TRP caliper on the boardman is WAAAAAAAAAY fkn worse)
Have been running brakes euro/conti on both of these which makes for interesting riding on the odd occasion I jump on my cross or pub bikes. Set em up that way for no other reason than the cables routed better on each like that.
I finally managed to get around grabbing a few pics of my roadie while I was also taking shots of Steph’s roadie (post to come).
So for me it’s pretty much a stock Cannondale CAAD10 Black Inc Disc with a cut steerer, new stem & bottle cages.
- Sram RED22 Hydro Disc
- 110mm ENVE stem
- Fizik R3 Arione saddle
- Speedplay pedals
- Arundel carbon bottle cages
- k-edge Garmin mount
I have plans for some new wheels & seat post int eh future, but for now this thing is just so bloody good I couldn’t change a thing.

I like those disc CAADs. There are some screaming deals on the 12 at the moment too.
^ yep…I’m really considering a caad of some nature given current prices.
Fire emojis, all of them.
Don’t think I’ve posted this here. Salsa Casseroll with 105 5800, DT Swiss R24 Splines, Salsa Cowbell bars and Shimano R650 brakes. Goes well.

Liking the bikes on this page. Well done Luke and Andy!
not CAAD but still in the C’dale fam

beautiful…
all black bikes should have those tyres…
All the fire emoji’s
love those cranks
damnnnnnn!!! thats hot!

Just built this up and cleaned it. No time to ride it until the weekend though, stupid uni.
Noice 'nago
. Have you a matching kit?
Not yet, Picked up a jersey on the 'Bay for $41 though, pretty stoked with that!
Bargain!
Not sure where to put this, so here will do.
This is my mate’s Speedvagen he took delivery of late last year.
The Speedvagen dude was in ‘Straya, I think, 2015, so my mate (let’s call him Ben) got measured up and I guess effectively took a place in the queue while Ben went and saved some cash.
I think Speedvagen then contacted him a few months later and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse, so the project commenced. I think Ben had a fair bit of input on the design of the bike right down to having his name and daughter’s names included in the graphics. (Forgot his wife, oops.)
The frame is steel with a carbon seat tube – which I found a bit weird. The down tube looked like Max to me, but maybe there’s other multi-shaped steel tubes getting around, Ben didn’t know. Enve fork. Sram eTap groupset. The bike came complete from Speedvagen in a nifty timber box, part of which can be seen in the photo.
Although it’s not my cup of tea, the whole bike is presented amazingly well. The painted hubs are a nice touch and the welds are slick. There’s even a few very minor imperfections in the graphics that are a subtle reminder that it is hand built. The paint is a bit toned down compared with other Speedvagens, which suits Ben, he’s a fairly quiet dude.
Ben loves it, which is the main thing, and he talked very enthusiastically about the process and how it rides. I tried to wind him up by asking why it didn’t have disc brakes (Ben has to have the latest and greatest) and it came down to Sram not having eTap discs when he had to make a decision of componentry. He assured me he preferred rim brakes, but I dunno, I reckon he would have liked discs on it. (He’s got plenty of other off road machines with discs.)
Anyway, he’s promised me he’s bringing it over later in the year, so I’m looking forward to seeing it on the road.
So so rad. Carbon ST hey… yeah, interesting. Think I would have liked the hubs in that Lemon/Lime in the graphics, no matter, very nice.
^ Yeah, the graphics on the fork actually spell out ‘Enve’ too, but you can’t make it out in the photo.
