Brian77 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I decided to buy a new bike. I think the Caad12 is a good choice for a beginner. I took her for a 20km ride and realized the following:1. Farm tractors can be hazardous to your health too.2. Seats feel like concrete after a while3. Downhills and being attached to a bike can be scary for a beginner. For me at least. Still have lots to learn but I am hooked.
The Grip Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Nice bike, may she bring you many happy miles. I've also just got myself a Caad12 frame and will be starting my build this week now that i have received mostly all of the parts and components.
Thomo Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I decided to buy a new bike. I think the Caad12 is a good choice for a beginner.Now that's an understatement...Cannondale's top alu frame would be the choice for many more experienced riders.Enjoy.!

Brian77 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Posted May 27, 2018 Disk brakes are big plus!I liked it downhill. Should be great in the wet.
