I am torn between choosing a used cyclocross for about 500$ CAD + road wheels or a brand new CAAD12 in 105. I want to ride it daily and it will mostly be on pavement but with some occasional gravel/trail. Any suggestions for a good used aluminum cyclocross bike? CAAD12 worth the full price?

What's your local craigslist/other used bike market?

I live in Montreal. I use Kijiji but Craigslist is fine too
>>
>>978557
and what frame size do you run?
>>
>>978560
52cm on Cannondales. I don't know for the other brands.

What are you going to be riding 80% of the time. Pavement? Get the CAAD.

It's dumb to get a totally different bike for the few exceptions where you're riding a certain way like a small amount. Don't let what you might do infrequently compromise what you'll realistically be doing.

Plus the CAAD12 is just a incredibly fun and great bike.

Almost forgot

If you're set on a cyclocross bike but still like the caad
why not get the CaadX? its the caad but cyclocross. they just unveiled the 2017 models.
>>
>>978571
CAAD with 28s, or even try the disc version and you should be able to run 30s

All you need for some gravel/trail riding
>>
>>978574
It kinda depends on the trail (a lot of the "gravel" trails around here are best done with front suspension), but yeah, CAAD12 all the way.
>>
If you ride daily comfort should be taken into account. You might favor cyclocross to be able to use larger tyres even if you stick to pavement.
>>
Road bikes are for roads... not pavements. So cyclocross shit for you.
