Want a lightweight winter or wet bike - Just finding my alu ribble too heavy and these two appear to fit the bill (Both take mudguards and allow for decent clearance with them on) - as I see it pros and cons

Canondale
cons
Only tiagra groupset
Bland looking

pros
light
price.
threaded BB

Merida
pros
105 groupset

Cons
Not that light
More expensive than cannondale
Press fit BB

Any thoughts
Test rides aren't really feasible - and in the past 15-30 mins on the bike hasn't gained me a lot of insight.

Pretty similar tbh.

I prefer Cannondale as a brand, tiagra is pretty good but it's not 105!

Dark colours suit a winter bike I think.

A Merida price cut swung it - pretty impressed so far
