After selling my CAAD10 in 2018 I've always wanted to be back in the cult. I just finished putting this CAAD3 together and I'm happy to be on a CAAD again....

If the seat post was showing signs of corrosion, I would suspect that the wheel bearings, chain and BB should also be inspected and addressed as well.

Load free Strava on your phone, ride your route. You won't have to guess at the results. 21K/13miles is short to make any judgement. Try 100K and any difference will be more apparent. :thumb:

Buy the complete bike that is closest to the spec you want. Then adapt and adjust and upgrade as you go. Parts will wear out, get damaged, need replacement, and that’s when you start to customize

Honestly, I would do it again if I had the choice. Would have gone straight Shimano and not Campagnolo but that is another story!
