I'm trying to achieve a more relaxed geometry. I assumed that the increased reach and stack would give me this? The Caad10/SuperSix would have a more aggressive geometry in comparison? Similar to the Caad10/Super/Six vs Synapse. 10mm longer and 25mm higher.

I'm pretty new to all this I would like to give them a go side by side but finding a 64cm Pinarello is not easy.
Mate - I feel your pain. Finding a bike in a shop that stocks a size we can actually test ride is near impossible as no-one is willing to stock anything larger than a medium or large. Meaning we're left to guess by looking at geometry charts! Every bike I've ever bought has been sight unseen.

But if its any help - from what you've described with wanting a more relaxed (I'm reading upright) fit I reckon the Dogma would be spot on - along with looking awesome!

BTW...have you tinkered with flipping stems or going for a larger angle/shorter length stem on your CAAD. You'd be surprised how a diff stem can alter the feel of a bike.

Good luck and let us know how you go.
