I'm in the market for a new road bike, have just ridden a rented CAAD12 for a couple of days and loved it. Now torn between buying a CAAD12 in the sales (not actually that many great deals around and not super keen on the available colourways, that's personal) – and the new CAAD13 where the mudguard mounts would be a big plus, which I've seen (albeit not ridden) and thought ok.
I get that it's a departure from the traditional CAAD aesthetics but if I don't mind that, is there an objective reason not to get a CAAD13 right now?
