I was pretty sure I was going to buy a Cannondale CAADX 105, but ended up going with a Felt F65X instead. Although the new CAADXs are out, none of the stores are discounting the 2014 models yet. There are big changes too, as the 2015 105 models have the 11 speed gears. They are basically last year's Ultegra set up. Both are selling at $1,550.

The F65X was regularly $1,800 and was on sale for $1,500. I'm moving my 105 pedals that I bought 2.5 years ago to the Felt from my Cervelo R3, and I ordered the Shimano 105 5800 pedals from Chain Reaction. They are the new version of the 5700 pedals, and were half the price my LBS had the 5700s at. I try and support LBSs, but 50% difference was too much.

I switched the tires out for road tires, as I won't be going off pavement. I put some fenders and a bike rack on it, but here's the stock photo of my new winter commuter:
