Picked up this CAAD8 a couple years ago, recently made a few tweaks and loving it more than ever.

I rode exclusively fixed gear for years and this is my first "real" road bike. This thing rips, super nimble to ride--way more fun than you'd expect on 20 year bike with budget parts. Weighs in at just under 20 lbs.
