Current Stage Info:
Had the frame repainted by Bob Jackson & found a rusty crack shortly after on the chainstay by the BB. Don't see any point in repairing it, as I'd expect another tube to rust through. at some point too (hadn't been looked after the best before it was mine). Sad times.

I know what you mean - it's a bit of a stopgap really, wanted something I could ride with for a bit while I save up/figure out what frame I want. Probably going to end up on a CAAD 10.

The black 105 bits on here look surprisingly good. I dig it.
