is this a good deal for a used CAAD 7 Optimo?
I've been thinking about a buying a new frame, new or used, for a while, something that is more suited for climbing, and i ran accross a 2004 Cannondale CAAD 7 Optimo frame (the Team Saeco version) with carbon fork for $679 on ebay. I was wondering if someone here could address a couple of questions;
-Is this a good price for the frame? I've spent plenty of time on google trying to compare, but its hard to tell exactly what something like this should go for.
-I've read that the tubing on this frame is incredibly thin in places, which makes it easy to dent ect. Is this something to worry about considering its a 2004 and has been raced, i want to make sure the frame will last for a significant amount of time before i put the money into it.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

I don't think it is.
I just saw a 2005 CAAD8 frame and fork go for 410. a while back.
