Said XS Datum setup roughly the same as my 54 CAAD. Spin round the block tells me it would be as good as the CAAD on the road and can fit something like a 42c. But it looks really silly, and even if I do get the frame for free I'd need to invest in hydro shifters/brakes and a wheel set which I'm guessing will still set me back £600+. I'd sell the CAAD to cover some of that but seems like I'd be better off getting a complete bike that fits me better?
