    Hi.

    Looking at CAAD10 disc frameset for a bit a a 'do it all' future build.
    Maybe CAAD12, but better value in older 10.

    Anyone have any experience of these frames/bikes?
    I have Synapse disc and live it. Is the CAAD10/12 much more aggressive geometry wise? Ride quality, general opinion etc?

    Thanks

    Just in from a spin on my caad 12 disc . Very stiff frame on the caad 12 and more aggressive ride than the synapse . You will be lower down at the front so will feel different to your synapse for sure.

    I use 25mm tyres and when pumped fully it can be harsh on dodgy Irish roads from the overall stiffness. Mind you it rolls so well on nice smooth tarmac . Overall a super bike and wants to be ridden fast .

    Have more aggressive frames than synapse so don't think it would be too much of a shock. Good to here that it is an overall fun, fast bike.
    From the reviews the CAAD12 does seem like a top rate bike, fair bit like lighter than the 10 too.
    Probably looking at 2nd hand 10 due to budget reasons unfortunately
