Comments about Cannondale CAAD10 5 Compact Bike - 2012:
Disclaimer: I didn't buy my bike from REI, I bought it from a local bike shop cause they had my size and they threw in some extras (pedals & computer) cause I've done some other business with them in the past.
Yes I know they don't make Cannondales by hand in PA like they did when I bought my previous bikes and I also know they are owned by doral group now and they weld them in the same factory in Taiwan where they build the other doral group bikes, but this thing is still fast and light and flies. Yes you can buy a full carbon from some other companies for about the same price (Felt), but this bike is just as light and just as quick as those sub $2,000 carbon bikes. The 105 group is great for my cycling level. My dad has Ultegra and it's better, but not $1000 better. His bike is also full carbon and its lighter, but not a lot lighter. The brakes are Tektro instead of Shimano but they work fine for road bike brakes. The Shimano RS10 wheels are OK, but you can upgrade over time and still be better off than buying a low-end carbon bike in my opinion, and you still have spent about the same amount of money and have better wheels.
My only con might be that on my older (late 90's) Cannondale (which prouldy states "Handmade in the USA") the welds are seamless. It looks like the bike was stamped out of one piece of aluminum instead of tubes joined together. One this bike, the welds are much more noticeable. It's not a deal breaker by any measure but takes a little away from the pride of ownership. I guess that's just the way it is now that times are tougher and everyone needs to cut costs.
