I'm this close to dropping my hard-earned cash on this old Ted CX. Someone wanna give me their opinions of it?

Will the geometry work for you? 56 Seat tube and 60 Top Tube is definately a custom
fit. Have you been sized to see what type of geometry will work for you? For a few hundred dollars more you can buy a new cyclocross bike with updated components and warranty.

A quick web search turned up a Kona Jake the Snake w/ Shimano 105 for $1099.99:

Good luck!
