Where are you finding the GT Grade Elite? That bike disappeared from the GT website last year. I haven't seen it anywhere.

Excellent choice. The Cannondale Topstones are very good bicycles.

I rode Topstone Carbon for a while, size M for my 177 cm. The geo of Topstones is a bit off, its a bit longer than expected. I replaced my stem for 80 mm one and then it was better though.
Topstone AL version has threaded bottom bracket, which is serious advantage.

I ride an alloy topstone 105 and I really like it. It fits me and that is the reason I like it so ride them both, if you can, and see which one fits you better, Good luck.
Frank.
