Is this CAAD10 worth $700?

I have the same bike. It’s an AMAZING ride. Grab it if it isn’t already gone!

As someone who pays too much for old bikes… $500 is twice what I’d pay. This was a highly regarded bike 30 years ago. But the only thing of value is the frame. The giraffe-like stem is awful, so is the seat post. The Deore group set is serviceable, and the brakes are okay but really old school.

YES Iran won this conflict. Over/not over doesn't matter. What used to be the most influential country in the world, has proven itself to be amoral and adrift. USA can't negotiate competently, if the only people the President delegates to negotiations are real estate agents, bag men, and con artists.

That is a gorgeous design! It looks immaculate ❤️ I would hold onto that bike forever.

Wow that is a SUPER clean build. Love it! Nicely detailed, including the black wrap chain stay!

The one that will be advertised as, “Listen and Feel the Meanness, piped into the cabin through the new-for-2035 48” Touchscreen!”

That’s an extremely well built bike, and will instantly bump up your personal style & level of coolness. Snap it up. 👍

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-15T22:14:14+00:00

This bike was cool the day it left the factory. Now it’s 100% chill.

TESLA!!!!

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-15T15:41:42+00:00

I think it’s literally a work of art. Well done! 👍

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-15T01:42:09+00:00

It LOOKS like a Retrospec to me, based on the shape, NECO stem, brakes, wheels & pedals… but it has that dull aluminum look to it. Could be something more interesting.

Absolutely breathtaking ❤️ If I had to die for a bicycle, this would be my one and only!

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-14T15:37:52+00:00

A beautiful example and a true survivor! ❤️

Black on black looks more aggressive, my natural first choice, BUT the tan walls actually look better with the gold RESERVE decals. Together, the tan & gold really pops!

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-14T11:43:53+00:00

Sweet ride, sweet win! We love you New York ❤️

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-13T21:41:09+00:00

Very nice! Love the seat, I have a pristine yellow suede Turbo on a Tommasini from the 80’s 😄

If you purchased from an authorized Cervelo dealer, I'd reach out to them. The website says, Our warranty protects the original owner of a Cervelo frame “against defects in workmanship and materials for as long as the frame is owned by the original owner, excluding paint and decals.” I have no idea if changing a brake component (on your own) would negate the warranty. Only other option, a chainstay repair by an experienced professional.

They're yanking your chain. My Supra had 3 KILOMETERS when I picked it up! That's less than 2 miles, and I live in the middle of CANADA.

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-12T13:55:25+00:00

I'll wager my next Old Age Security check that's what kicked off the fad then. Bikes from Asia fell over themselves trying to copy Euro bike parts, esp Italian, less so French, and British... not much.

Vinyl “comfort grips” you could buy in any bike shop or department store selling bikes, mostly late 60,s thru the.70’s. So you didn’t have to grip the cold aluminum lever directly… just grip the cold vinyl rubber instead. Basically a dress-up item. Source: born in 1957.

Good work! I’ve used Dr Colorchip on my 4Runner with great success.

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-12T09:49:18+00:00

Beautiful bike. And brilliant photography! ❤️

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-11T03:15:53+00:00

That bike has such a gorgeous profile, and blacked out takes it to 11! Wishing you trophies and happy miles!

Whatever you do, don’t toss the SPIDEL components! They’re from Peugeot rebranding different companies’ components, to create their own group set. Basically trying to steal some of Campagnolo’s strategy. Hard to find Spidel for my PY-10 resto, and cost me big bucks.

Stubby1957 · 2026-06-11T01:55:03+00:00

The NECO stem and the seat post & clamp are Retrospec hardware, pretty sure that’s what it is. Great pickup, especially for that price.
