Will I likely be more comfortable on longer rides with a 2015 CAAD 8 or 2015 CAAD 10 ?? I've found a great deal on either machine. The LBS offers a GURU fit included. If it matters I'm 60yo, fairly fit, not as limber as a 30yo.
I'm concerned about the frame geometry difference between these two bikes. Any thoughts ..
Both the caad8 and caad10 are race specific bikes, so they have fairly short head tubes. If you look for comfort (or you have concerns about your flexibility), I'd suggest to get the synapse (what is an amazing bike also).
In general you can look at the "stack" of the bike in the geometry tables. Higher the number, the more upright/comfortable position can be achieved. Obviously you can move the handlebars up with a stem, but it's better to pick the right bike.
