Yeah I think the frame was pretty well used by the PO – I picked it up as frame only to give road riding a go (again) only to find out (again) that it’s not for me. The actual components haven’t seen much use though, the 105 groupset is in great condition (someone was upgrading to Dura Ace on a CAAD frame I believe), the rear wheel was brand new 200ish miles ago, the brakes have seen about 200 miles as well, headset (cost me a fortune) was new at the same time, contact points were just cheap things to get me going really. Bang some Chinese carbon wheels on and your choice of contacts and it’d be a weapon.
I can have a proper measure of it this weekend but as you say they do come up a little odd, I find it comfortable at 6’1 but my friend who is 5’11 finds it too small for him (he rides a 56 usually). I can’t seem to find a geometry chart online for this specific model.
