I will definitely try to not mess with the space-time continuum. Sticking with the spacers and such sounds like a good option down the road. Looking at the F85 online, that seems to have a similar geometry to the CAAD - maybe even more aggressive? Anyway, given how I didn't like the CAAD as much, I think I'll steer clear of the F series for now.
wb_dad, I'll let you know what I decide. I also noticed the Revenio, but no shop that I've looked at has it. Any other bikes that are on top of the list for you? Just curious...
As of now, I'm definitely leaning towards the more relaxed geometry - It feels like it better fits the type of riding I want to be doing. And then, in 5 or 10 years if I've started to get into racing (I'm only 28), there's always going to be carbon race bikes. :-)
