I have an old 1996 AL frame that I love, and over the years I have gotten this and that for it, but have done so after the other stuff was on its way out. If I got the stuff all at once and for reg. price I would have been better off with a new bike. But I just rode the hell out of the thing and got stuff that was new old stock or really really on sale. The bike lives.

If you like the frame ride the thing and just save for a new race bike b/c your going to use your cadd 5 for training and when its bad outside.
