Thanks! Well, as everybody knows (or should know), if you don't have the legs, you will not be fast enough even on the most expensive and lightest modern bike :)

Congrats on the KOM, that's good going!
Granted if you're competing you'll be at a disadvantage, although looking stylish while doing so. Not being the most competitive frame by today's standards there is a satisfaction in seeing your fitness/technique improve on a once competitive frame, whether that is just training. If I was on a carbon bike and you overtook me i'd certainly break a wry smile.
