I would rule out the CAADX. It seems to be a disc brake bike that still uses QR. Disc brake bikes are now standardized to 12mm front and rear thru axles. The CAAD13 has good specs but check the fit. Depending on your flexibility you may find the fit too aggressive. It's a well regarded bike and will retain value better than some others. The Felt is really nice looking and a good value. Downsides would be a weird FSA bottom bracket and not full 105. If one of the others is full 105, including cranks and brakes or better yet a legit threaded bottom bracket, it would be worth considering.
Edit- Just checked the Norco. Threaded bottom bracket and Shimano crank FTW! Tektro brakes but they may be fine.Good price, too.
