Wanted: CAAD12 Disc/CAADX or other similar cyclocross bike

I've nearly finished building up my family carrying/mucky commuter beast, but feel I'll (definitely) get left behind on the social laps around Regents so thinking of building up something racier.
I've always liked the aesthetics of the Volare Disc. While I'll love the 931 disc, that would pretty much swallow up my whole budget, so my thoughts turn to the 853.
Im looking for the medium, ideally in the 2018 livery and in good condition. If you have something that is equiv in spec, I'm open to ideas too

Fancy steel is nice but you could do worse than a caad12 disc if it’s just for some smashy dry winter laps. They’re light, fast and cheap(ish)

I did consider the Caad12, but having riden the caad9 many moons ago, I wanted to get something a little different. But, I may go down that route, or maybe the caadx for extra fun options if nothing comes up with the Volare.

OK, I'm going in a different direction here, I'm leaning now to either a caad12 disc or for more versatility a caadx or similar cyclocross bike. The main aesthetic requirement, horizontal toptube.

54cm size, what you got?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
