The allez or the red saeco?
Reason is the same: second child and as i am consolidating my entire lifestyle right now, id like to do the same with bikes and get down to one handsome CAAD with modern components (but still rim/mechanical) aka ultegra 8000 and my reynolds wheels
And for the allez i think its pretty hyped now, so, happy to give it away on short notice as long as people are also happy with the rim brake version
I have one in mind (attached) but the price is a bit ridiccc…
What do you mean by modern contact points on the red(?) saeco?

What do you mean by modern contact points on the red(?) saeco?
Stuff you touch or is in contact with something. Saddle, pedals, levers, bars, tape, sometimes pads and tyres . Basically MGOOFing the Saeco.
I can understand the consolidation but does selling the Saeco and buying another old CAAD make any sense? Have you tried the Saeco with the Reynolds wheels, pedals and saddle of the Allez?

Makes a strong case for a caad12.
To me R8000 (anything after 7800, really) doesn't complement an old caad.
Looks cool on lugged steel, positively symbiotic on a 12 though.
Second hand 2017 Black Inc w/ DA9000 at LBS looks very good to me.Generally (for the riding I do) don't see much to be gained upgrading from a mid 2000 groupset in terms of performance, keeping the 2004 chorus on my caad 5 until it falls apart.
7800 I tried a while back still felt very good as well.Re: Contact points, pretty much what jono84 said.
In 2021 we deserve all the comfort we can get. :)

Why are you selling?
Looked great, would have liked seeing the saeco w. modern contact points.
