As a daily routine
I check Bike Magazine 3 times a day
Finally, the Cannondale Caad 14 article has come out
I thought aluminum was over except for the Alli series
A ray of light has come down...☆
The BB also uses 68mm BSA and according to the UDH hanger specs, the tire clearance is a maximum of 32mm.
I think the Caad 13 was 30, and if done right, I could even install 35c gravel tires
and ride around. Hehe
Dividing the options by price range seems fine too.
1(Premium) : SRAM Force AXS 13-speed drivetrain / Reserve 57/64 carbon aero / System bar R-One carbon integrated cockpit / Single color
2(High-end) : SRAM Rival AXS 12-speed wireless drivetrain / DT Swiss E1800 spline wheelset / Single color I think?
3(Mid-range) : 105 R7170 hydraulic disc brake and 12-speed drivetrain / 2 color options
Personally, if I were to use one, I think I'd end up buying version 2
but the key issue is the price, after all.
I trust and use Cannondale aluminum, but in a market with so many Chinese ultra-cost-effective carbon bikes,
for aluminum frames to remain competitive, the price would have to come down quite a bit.
Looking at Reddit, the set with Force is $7,500, which is about 11 million won in our currency,
and the set with mechanical 105 is $4,000, which is just under 6 million won in our currency.
Carbon bikes with the new Rival groupset are generally around 5 million won now..
Of course, it might come in cheaper in the domestic market, so I'll need to keep watching the Sanba da website,
but as an aluminum lover, I can't help but be worried.
I just hope the price is worth buying...

After seeing a link left by someone in the comments below
I'm adding a bit more.
Thank you for the link.
The top-tier model 1 weighs 8.14kg based on size 56.
I think the lower-tier ones would be around 9kg.
The model with 105 is $2,500, hmm if it comes in at the current exchange rate it would be about 3.6 million won.
The model with Rival is $4,000, I hear. Hmm, that's too much for my wallet as a new graduate.
If it comes in at the bike cafe, I should go and take a look.
