I had a few questions I was hoping all of you could help me with. For starters I'm not sure what a good price for a CAAD10 105 to be, my preferred price limit would be around $1,000 and maybe a bit more but hopefully that will be my limit. With that being in mind, what year should I be looking at to find that price range.
Thanks everyone
Should be able to find something. Not many changes in frame year to year except internal cable routing on newer ones. CAAD9 is pretty much the same frame too so you should consider those too. New 11 speed 105 just came out on 2015 models so anything used you are looking at will likely be 5700 10 speed 105 so components should be same or similar on any used 105 equipped model
