Haha it’s 10 year old aluminium and still rides better than any sub £1000 modern Alu frame. Perfect crit bike. Stiff as hell, light, fucking awesome looking

Its kinda like buying the first iPod for the nostalgic value

Actually had a fairly modern carbon 2009 look 595 for a short period and changed back to an older Caad 7. The caad is so much stiffer! (And not to mention the same weight) I can completely understand if you've got the money then get a modern caad but there is nothing wrong at all with old aluminium.. age is just a number

Or you could slap some 25c's on there ride it an enjoy it, all the time seeing your reflection in the shiny top tube.
It maybe over priced but it looks badass and will be far more fun than something 4x the price.
Oh, and old alu is fine.
Just saying. :)
