Belated best wishes!
one handsome CAAD with modern components (but still rim/mechanical) aka ultegra 8000 and my reynolds wheels
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. :)

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?
