Help me choose between 2 Aluminum bikes
Specialized Bicycle Components dealer has it for 1799
Allez Expert
Or this Giant TCR. TCR SLR 2 (2015) | Giant Bicycles | United States Dealer will probably sell it for 1400-1450.
I found a dealer selling a new 14 Caad 10 105 for 1131.00
Which of the 3 is the best value/ overall.

You snooze you lose. No idea where you are but lbs by me is selling them for $1199
Cannondale | 2014 CAAD10 5 105 | Incycle Bicycles
I really don't need another bike but that is tempting

Allez- I like the handling and performance of that bike. It felt very stiff when I rode it up some hills.
EDIT: You can't go wrong with the TCR either from what I have heard and seen with numerous riding buddies. Is aesthetics an important factor? The TCR and Allez are very sharp looking bikes IMO.

I live in Seattle but the bike is in Oregon. The lady had it on hold for a couple of days. Going to wait till the next 1k to 1,1000 new Caad 10 comes around.

Keep shopping around, You should be able to find a new carbon bike with 105 for that $1500-1800. The Cannondale was a solid deal.

The CAAD would be the best deal but I love the Allez frames. The Fuji Roubaix 1.1 at Performance Bike is very nice for the price as well.
