My R500T was a 97 model and now my son is enjoying it, for goodness knows how long. The CF bicycles can smooth out seriously rough roads and I suspect the CF fork on my CAAD 10, along with the SAVE frame spec do a lot of the smoothing out on my bicycle.
This is spooky. I ride occasionally with another poster here who also lives in the Pensacola area who also very recently (couple of weeks) bought the very same bike.
About the original post, leading off with a pejorative term will hardly elicit reasoned response.
