I just got my first real road bike (had a GMC Yukon), but I now have a Specialized Secteur Compact.

Strictly from a 'bike feel' standpoint, theres not much difference IMO.I have a carbon fork which may make the ride a tad smoother.
However when you consider I went from a 39/50 front and 14-28 7 spd rear (30 pound bike) to a 50/34 and 12-28 8 spd (21ish pound bike) There is a significant difference in my ability to climb.
I also just bought clipless road pedals (from platforms) and now it's totally different.
I think any bike will feel different than your current bike. Im not super picky about little differences. However I will say that this bike has less random noises and creaks as my yukon.
And the paintjob is totally sweet!

Hey,
First of all I'd like to inform you that I'm from Poland and I'd like to apologize you for my possible language mistakes
I've found my bike in the basement because I decided to ride a little during this summertime. It turned out to be a quite vintage Cannondale, so I decided to identify it - there's a lot of Cannondale bikes that look simillar (M-XXX series) but I cannot find exactly the same one. Can you help me with it?
I've attached the pic of my bike.
