2008 CAAD9 ?

[Gunnar Wormbs]

Hi! I have a 2008 CAAD9 which I believe is a cyclocross version. It is European so the colors in the 2008 catalog don't match, but the odd thing is that is says CAAD9 on the top tube and not CX9 or Optimo. Now I need to find a derailleur hanger, but those seem to be different for the road version and the cyclocross version. Anyone know what bike I actually have.

What type of brake mounts does it have on it? The CX bikes will all have cantilever post brake mounts, where the road bikes will have a single brake mount on the brake bridge.

It has cantilever brakes (that's why I have assumed that it is a CX bike).

I owned a CAAD9 CX. They were built for the 2009 and 2010 model years. The top model in both years came with the Easton EC90X fork, the lower models with a Cannondale Ultra X. In 2009 it was called the Slice Ultra X. My guess is that you have a 2009 model which could have been produced late in 2008. The new models usually came out late in the summer.
