What do you think of a 2005 Scott CR1 PRO (Ultegra) on close-out for $2800 down from $3800? A great buy if you like carbon?

Here's the model my LBS has (with campy instead of shim). Alot of people like the 05's carbon balck weave instead of the painted 06's.

You're asking our opinion of carbon bikes that you are thinking about purchasing? Talking about "stress tests" and "applied torque"? Who are you and what have you done with the real Sincitycycler?
