    Looking for some advice. Initially I had intended to buy a new caad12 but my now depleted budget won't allow so switching to plan B. My plan is to now buy and build up one of these framesets - any advice? After searching around, both seem rare enough, but there are a few good examples on ebay, priced plus delivery around the 500 or 600 euro mark. Is this expensive for those frames? What are the pros and cons of either frame? I know they both have bb30 bottom brackets. Size wise, either a 52 or 54 frameset will do me fine. Does anyone know where else I might get a caad10 frameset or know of one for sale? Condition wise doesnt matter too much, once the frame is structurally sound - scratched/faded paintwork doesn't bother me. Before anyone starts on about carbon frames, I'm not looking for a carbon frame. Prefer an aluminium frame of good quality. Any and all advice appreciated.

    They are super bikes . I have a caad 12 in 52 myself . Really responsive and quick compared to my previous bikes .
    Caad 10 is great too I've ridden a few on holidays.
