Should I jump on the Cervelo bandwagon?
found this on craigslist.
51 cm Aluminum frame (55 cm c-c top tube, 47 cm c-c seat tube).
Brass shim included for seatpost (but seatpost not included).
Bicycling Magazine called it one of the "fastest and most-storied frames".
Normal scratches from being used, no crashes.
Check out Cervelo for more info at:

I'd buy it. The value of older Cervelos can only go up with the cable routing issues on new ones.

seriously, what's the draw of an aluminum cervelo?? the shape of the tubes look ghastly.. oh ya i remember when people were briefly into HUGE aero downtubes that don't do anything but provide a nice surface to plaster a logo.. that came and went long time ago.. looks heavy compared to a cannondale.

Great bike, but +1 on the seatpost. Looks like you shouldn't have any trouble picking one up though:
