imho i'd stray from the triple, you don't need that much gearing in vancouver.
note that the geo's on the two bike are also VERY different! the specialized looks very relaxed and the caad is more aggressive.
just depends what you're hoping to use the bike for, what you like and what feels right in the end!

Thanks! Yea three rings seems to be to much gearing. I ride my urban bike and never utilize all three rings..
Looking for a bike to get started into road biking, nothing hardcore yet... The price and the build of that Specialized bike looks okay to me.. 56 is my size for specialized.
Will probably hit la bicyclette tommorrow to see if they have any starter deals.
Another noob question, should I invest more for road bike shoes? And do road bike shoes fit smaller from regular shoes?
