First road bike and looking for a good deal to ride laps for fitness. Between this CAAD 10 and Felt – talked the Felt down to $350.

Well they’re both different sizes, so probably whichever one fits best. They’re both fairly aggressive, racey bikes which may not be ideal for a first road bike, unless you know that’s the sort of riding you’d like to do and are pretty fit and flexible already.
Different sizes. The better deal is the one that better fits your body. One may look like a *better deal* until it wrecks your body. I borrowed a friend’s road bike before I purchased mine and it was the wrong size. Cost me a hand surgery.
Caad and it isn’t even close. Just look at the stem on the felt.
350 for a bike w red feels suspicious i can’t lie, even if it is mech/rim and looks like it’s been down before
While I think I like the Cannondale more there are unanswered questions about why it was repainted and the photos are not clear enough to tell if it was even a quality paint job so I’d probably have to pass on it.
Just adding that I’m 5”9 and 54CM has worked better on bikes I’ve tried out but I am not opposed to 52CM. I’m looking for something aggressive and I’m riding smooth tarmac with hill climbs and descents.
Never buy a repainted bike.
