Earlier in the year I purchased a 2011 CAAD10-5 to be my semi-commuter/grocery-running bike. I chose a CAAD because I wanted something that I felt would be less fragile than my Giants and also slightly less expensive, so I could potentially use the CAAD for Crash-5 racing in the future.

However, with a new saddle and Speedplays (to match my other bikes) I walked out of the store spending nearly $1700. With that amount into it I suddenly felt like it was a little too valuable to be leaving outside of grocery stores (though I do live in a safe, small town), and I was also worried that my nearly 20 lbs of bike locks could be damaging to the frame--not necessarily the weight, but if someone were to come bumping into my bike and something got shifted...idk, maybe I'm being ridiculous.

So anyway, having not really ridden the CAAD at all I'm considering selling it and getting a steel bike (Raleigh Clubman, Bianchi Pista, etc.; or buy a used steel frame, upgrade components and wheels on the TCR and use the old stuff with the steel frame) that I wouldn't have to worry about as much.

Finally, I'm trying to choose a good price point for it. Ideally I'd like to get as close to my original price as possible since the bike has less than 100 miles on it, but I do understand that it's an older model. I would also be up for selling it for less without the saddle and pedals since I'd like to keep them for the new bike I get.

Of course I could also choose to keep the CAAD and just not worry about any potential damage. Anyone know if insurance covers bikes that are damaged while locked up in front of a grocery store--could it be considered vandalism?

And yes, I am aware that I've basically purchased three bikes that do the same thing. For awhile we were planning to leave Minnesota for Oregon, so the Defy was meant to be designated as a climbing bike; not much climbing to be done in southern MN.
