No, the lower frames in the range tend to have BSA bb and aluminium steerer fork and possibly less fancy frame - Caad 8 Claris frame is 'Aluminium' 105 version is 'Optimised 6061 Aluminium' - I've no idea of the real world difference. My winter bike is a Synapse Claris frame with 11spd 105 and it's a cracking bike. You can see the specs on the Cannondale site.
