Help me choose between 2 Aluminum bikes
 
Specialized Bicycle Components dealer has it for 1799
Allez Expert

Or this Giant TCR. TCR SLR 2 (2015) | Giant Bicycles | United States Dealer will probably sell it for 1400-1450.

I found a dealer selling a new 14 Caad 10 105 for 1131.00

Which of the 3 is the best value/ overall.

CAAD10 by a mile although the Allez is very nice.

Caad10

2702 12-03-14 07:37 PM

The shop called me and the Caad 10 got sold.

You snooze you lose. No idea where you are but lbs by me is selling them for $1199

Cannondale | 2014 CAAD10 5 105 | Incycle Bicycles

I really don't need another bike but that is tempting

I have ridden the Allez frame they use for the Expert all season. I like it. Sharp handling. Seems stiff on climbs. Comfortable for all day rides - did several 100+ mile days with it.

Allez- I like the handling and performance of that bike. It felt very stiff when I rode it up some hills.

EDIT: You can't go wrong with the TCR either from what I have heard and seen with numerous riding buddies. Is aesthetics an important factor? The TCR and Allez are very sharp looking bikes IMO.

Pricewise the CAAD10 is the best value by a longshot.

2702 12-03-14 10:42 PM

I live in Seattle but the bike is in Oregon. The lady had it on hold for a couple of days. Going to wait till the next 1k to 1,1000 new Caad 10 comes around.

The test ride is the most important factor, not the spec sheet.

+1 on the caad10. Best value no question.

Raiden 12-04-14 12:59 AM

Keep shopping around, You should be able to find a new carbon bike with 105 for that $1500-1800. The Cannondale was a solid deal.

Lazyass 12-04-14 04:35 AM

The CAAD would be the best deal but I love the Allez frames. The Fuji Roubaix 1.1 at Performance Bike is very nice for the price as well.

Team Sarcasm 12-05-14 07:34 PM

Caad10 by a mile and if not the slr

bigdo13 12-05-14 09:03 PM

Seems I'm in the minority here... but don't look past that Allez...

2702 12-06-14 12:43 AM

Here is the link. Plus they are giving a 100 dollar gift card if you spend between 999-1999.
Most amazing Caad10 deal I have seen in a long time.
Cannondale CAAD10 5 105 C - Bike Gallery | Northwest's #1 Trek Dealer - Portland's Bike Shop Since 1974 ? Six locations around Portland, Oregon Trek - Electra - Cannondale - Co-Motion - Fitbikeco | Bike repair on all makes

side_FX 12-07-14 03:57 PM

Trek 1.2 or 1.5 not in the mix? Nice bikes...just sayin

timmbo 12-08-14 07:39 PM

Trek would be nice and you could probably find a deal on one! Otherwise CAAD!
