Good morning, all.
I absolutely love the white 2009 caad9-5, but can only get the 9-6 in my size/color. Thinking of getting the 9-6 white and selling the stock tiagra group and tektro brakes and upgrading to a 105 or centaur groupset via pbk or totalcycling.
The shop suggests to run the tiagra until it is worn out, but I feel it is better for someone who rides occasionally, and I'd rather not junk it in a couple years if it is worth selling now while it would be new - offsetting my costs of upgrading now.
My questions:
1. Is one group more serviceable than the other? More reliable?
2. How much would I likely get for selling the entire tiagra group, including cassette & chain? It's not a sought after group, yet would be new.
3. I am 195lbs. I read that the stock wheels are not suggested for my weight. Your thoughts?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks!
