Cannondale CAAD12 105

Noel’s brand new Cannondale CAAD12 105 on test, now race-ready after a few hours of workshop time with yours truly. The bike’s been upgraded in a number of ways, the most important being the stunning and tubeless-ready Shimano Ultegra wheelset, shod with Michelin’s fast Pro4 Service Course rubber.
