If your getting a good deal on the Cannondale, as long as the frame is the right size, then you should be able to modify virtually anything else if needed. Between some time just getting used to a new bike, and then a possible bike fit, you should be able to get a good setup. But to get an inferior new bike because of price or limited stock, your still stuck with that.
My road bike was a good end of season deal, and at first it felt too high for what I was used to riding my mountain bike. It uses a seat mast not a conventional seat post, so I needed to buy a new mast to get the seat lower. But I took the bike home and started riding it, then when I got the new seat mast I was used to the higher position and just returned the shorter mast.
But I’m glad I got the better bike to start things off.
