This may not seem like much of a change, but it likely rules out the CAAD13 as a future purchase for me.

Their geometry was certainly always a part of the appeal for me as well. I've ridden a size 58 SuperSix, CAAD9 and CAAD10 and the 57.5 TT and 175 HT with 130 stem was dead on for me. Reading how the geometry had changed made it way less appealing, plus given the fact they're not as stiff made me think that I'll just wait till I find a good used one to try out instead of buying new
