I am looking to get a road bike with a budget of 1500-2000. I’m 5’10 and am still growing as I’m 16. Went to a bike shop and was told I should get a size 56. I found this 2019 BMC Teammachine slr02 disc one with Ultegra di2 on it for $1850. My second option is the 2019 canyon aeroad cf slx with Ultegra di2 and the carbon wheels which is listed at $2000 but I can negotiate it down. I ride on mostly flat land with hills and am wondering which would be a better option. Thank you very much.

I forgot to add but I can put more pictures of both bikes. They are both in good condition aswell.
Canyon because of the wheels.
Canyon and it’s not even close. Way better
BMC all day long. You can always stick on a nice set of wheels.
BMC is a way higher quality bike than a Canyon
If that canyon has the integrated cockpit, go with the BMC. If the canyon doesn’t have the integrated cockpit, go with the BMC.
Canyon
BMC is a very good bike. They actually pay attention to detail and they ride well.
Side note, I don’t think the canyon is an option anymore because it is a size L and not M.
Australia here please tell us this one hack that allows us to get new Di2 for $2k
We will love it!
I saw this BMC in person and test rode. Ended up deciding it was too big and I went with a 54cm roadmachine. I’m just under 5’11. The vision metron handlebars make it a bit longer than stock. But can vouch that it is in pristine condition, shifting works perfect, the color way is totally cool, and would have bought it in a heartbeat if it fit me better. Seller is a nice guy.
