Question about a road bike. I finally got some insurance money back from when I got creamed by a car last fall. I've narrowed my bike choices down to three. Between the three, what would you pick and why? Wheels don't really matter as I will be replaceing them with a set of the new Reynolds aero 58s (got a good deal on them.)

http://www.cannondale.com/2013/bikes/ro ... e-crankset

These are my top contenders, although I'm not too entirely sure about the color scheme of the cannondale.

Didn't look at the BH because I don't know much about them. I own a Scott Addict and I can tell you their carbon frame is stiff, responsive, and light (Mark Cavendish comes to mind when he owned the tour with his Scott Addict). My buddy owns a Cannondale Supersix Evo Hi Mod (I think his is ultegra, but same frame as the one you listed) and it's very light and he likes it a lot, but I am partial to Scott and if you are putting some aero wheels on it, the foil aero frame will be a good complement to them.

Evo is lightest.

Scott and Cannondale have similar geometry in my size, w/ 74 deg seat tube. BH has slack 72.5 deg seat tube. That would bias me away from BH, as I'd need to jam seat forward on rails to get desired position.
