or specialized allez with apex. the frame itself is really nice and you can definitely upgrade later on.
caad9 (if you can find one in your size) or caad10. you can spend about $1500 for a caad10 with full 105 (5700). i havent heard much from the caad 10 but definitely cant be bad. only downside is that theyre made in asia instead of the usa. maybe wait a lil longer till spring comes along.
I went to the LBS and picked up a CAAD9 5 for $1200 with the new (5700) 105 components on it
It's possible, if you get lucky I guess. I think it depends on what batch and time your particular bike was made in the Cannondale factory. I also role the Allez with Apex, and although I like doubletap, the new 105 is nice, especially for the price. However, both bikes have ALU frames.
