That is unfortunately a crazy price on a CAAD4.  Those Spinergy wheels you can get at around R4k on the 2nd hand market. 

Bought a CAAD5 (looks the same but with an Integrated headset) in April with 105 on and Mavic wheels for R3800.  Add the wheels and you are well under R10k still.

Would love to get a set of those wheels but they had a LOT of issues in their day.........

Looks brilliant thought and you get those flashbacks of Big Chippo kicking everyone's ass on that bike.

Is this the SuperSix?

 

I didn't realise that they had a rim brake version.

 

Damn nice bike. 

 

SuperSix rim brake yes.  Stunning bike and you can get the weight lekker low.

Direct mount brakes if memory serves me well.

Dual Pivot, direct mount is disc brake slang apparently. Learnt this when trying to order some Ultegra goodies for bike, alas nada dual pivoy in SA, EU or UK.

To date this remains the only scientifically proven way of determining whether you made the correct purchase. 

Danny does this with bikes, and his cars... so he's well trained in that department.

Yebo, there is no high mod version of the rim brake. Not a train smash, still lighter than my old High Mod, can do full internal cable routing from bars. Also around the same frame weight as the high mod before groupset.
