'Dale Posted September 13, 2012 Share Alu vs Carbon. Hmmm... Can you test ride the two?That would really help. Your Spidey sense will tell you which one once you sit the saddle. *trying not be too biased as a 'Dale fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most biased on the hub!I'll let limousine test my CAAD, I know where he lives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limosine Posted September 13, 2012 Share Well, actually, you can compare the two. Foil: $ 4829Weight: 7.2 kgRide: Harsh and stiffAdvantages over CAAD: Aero CAAD: $ 3699Weight: 7.5 kgRide: Harsh and stiffAdvantages over Foil: Price, BB30, Lifetime warranty. Foil will cost you an extra 7000 for a 300 gr weight saving which could easily be gained by spending that on wheels. Why you say price ? Foil is about R 1 000 more expensive---in that price range it does not matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZRider Posted September 13, 2012 Share Why you say price ? Foil is about R 1 000 more expensive---in that price range it does not matter Got the prices off the net, RRP not specials. Will have to see what the CAAD 10 Di2 lands for in SA but should be around R36000.00 I could build that CAAD for: Frame 8500, Di2 upgrade 13000, crank and brakes 5000, finishing kit 4500 leaving 5 k for wheels and neither of those bikes come with wheels worth more than 5k.
