I have a USA Made CAAD 8 from 2005. It's excellent, in perfect condition and of the racy variety I believe. Picked up the frame from here for £150 if I remember correctly ( a 54cm too)
Has room for 28c tyres too. I built the bike with second parts and it was under the £500 mark.
Here's a gratuitous pic:
I think mine was good value as there's nothing wrong with it and I prefer it to my 2010 BMC. hunt one down!
This is good info, thanks. I'm not totally set on one but am keeping my eyes open for anything at the right price-other candidates are BMC/Canyon but all quite hard to find 2nd hand and therefore relatively spendy.
