<p>If you’re looking for a step up from the Optimo 4, but don’t need the 10-speed drivetrain of the Optimo 2, the Optimo 3 is your bike.  Built on the race tested Optimo frame, the CAAD Optimo 3 lets you battle with the pack on weekend club rides and makes your daily commute a bit more enjoyable. The proven frame delivers the same geometry and handling of a high-end road bike, while saving you some money for kit. Outfitted with an 18-speed Sora drivetrain, you get Shimano reliability, without the higher cost of top-end groupsets.
