The 2021 has just come out priced at $1500, rim brake model with full 105.
I'm considering buying this or a CAAD13, understanding that a wheelset upgrade would probably help either model.
I've ridden the CAAD13 but I've not yet ridden the BMC.
thanks in advance for any insight.
The only "insight" I can offer is this.....Last June I bought a CAAD12 w/105. Pretty shortly fitted it with Mavic USTs and it is absolutely amazing. I love this bike. And, it cost me $1350 new from the LBS. FWIW, it also weighs about 17 1/2 lbs. I should also mention that I went back to the LBS and asked about a CAAD 13 for a friend. Basically, there are none. They seem to have been sold out worldwide. Damn you COVID 19.
