PhilDAS-
You're forgetting the Schadenfreude adjustment - you guys despairing over my shitty bikes brings great joy

r.e. this thread - I know the conversation has moved on but weren't CAADs heat-treated twice? You're the expert
If so maybe worth keeping the old one, sending it off to Orlowski (? that Eastern European builder who uses aluminium) or someone to have the guides added back on and sell it on or use it as a spare bike or whatever

Yeah it's the Ford Focus of bikes to be sure...
I'm patiently waiting on my not-custom built but custom re-painted heavily discounted Mercian Pro Lugless audax frame arriving as a post masters celebratory self-confidence exercise, hopefully my health will be good enough to do it justice this year : /
Hope you get a good resolution to this anyway-life is too short to ride shite bikes!
