yeah - what he said about Athena 9 and also what he said about a good deal.
The reason I went a bit earlier than 00 was the quill stem.
Apart from that it's very similar to my De Rosa which I think is about '99
(Steel fork, low fast-back stays, 9spd campag etc)

For some reason I thought Carrera were Spanish.
Anyway, 9 speed Athena is quite a rare thing: it was only listed in the catalogue in 1998 and 1999 (Athena was dropped from 2000).
So I'd suggest that pins your bike to '98-'00.
A good deal, as I'd guess the groupset is worth what you paid for the bike, likely more.
