The CAAD10 seems to be a great buy for a new roadbike. With top end Al frame and decent group options. I'm just wondering whether for £1200 or so whether i'd be best looking at second hand options on ebay, where I could save money or get something better for a similar price.
I'm not really that familiar with newish bikes off ebay or otherwise, and I was wondering what others had done when it came to buying? I'm a fan of the older BMC's (not just thanks to Cadel). Especially the Al/C ones out a couple of years back, and the newer ones such as:

Any ideas? Is best to go for new and pay the premium.
Cheers.
