CAAD10?

[roberta_mach]

Hello! Can anybody help me find out what CAAD10 is this? the seller told me is a 2014 but i had a look at the archives and there was no color like this.. so could It be repainted?
I tried to search for the serial Number but it's mostly covered..

Thanks

I couldn't see that paint in any of the catalogs in the CAAD10 year range. 2011-2013 graphics had CAAD10 decals on the seat tube, later years did not have that decal. Is it 10 speed? 11 speed was introduced on the 2014 models. I doubt it's a repaint but I guess it's possible. We see lots of Cannondales that don't appear in the catalogs, especially in Europe.

Thanks for your reply. Actually It has SRAM 11 Speed, so i guess that's true It Is a 2014. I guessed for a repaint because i noticed there was some "Yellow" under the green matte Paint, see picture attached. The "strange" thing is that the logos are not stickers, actually the yellow logos is the shiny paint "below" and the matte green Paint is on top of that. But maybe it's normale and when you repaint you do like this, i'm not expert ..

to me it's not original coating. you see at the fotos everywhere tiny little marks/scratches where a yellow like the logos is shining through. industry would never paint the whole frame like this, right?

and the edges of the logo are pretty nasty. usually the industry would paint it in that olive, then adding some decals and give the whole frame some layers of clear coat in mate or gloss...

this frame looks like it was painted yellow. then someone added some diy-sticker-foil on it. gave it an olive coating and removed the diy-stickers. thats because the edges are pretty nasty and unsharp...

but for sure it's a CAAD10^^

Yes the paint looked strange to me, that why i started digging for the truth .. i also wanted to make sure it is from 2014. Anyway i really like this color, i just hope It will last! Thanks for your replies!

i also wanted to make sure it is from 2014.

is it right, without the barcode sticker at the bottom bracket it's impossible to find out the production year with the newer frames (after 2002)?
