I bought a R800 Optimo super cheap
Granted even though cheap, I did a lot of work on this bike. Including new Kysrium wheels, Michelin tires, bar/stem, cables and such, but kept the Ultegra triple drivetrain.
I've owned many many bikes, steel, carbon, aluminum and titanium. Wholly crap, I put this frame up with some of the best I've ridden ( as an all-around). Granted, in my 60's I don't ride hard anymore, this frame rides smooth, light with great handling.
If you can get one with some upgrades and don't mind not having bragging rights, I highly recommend finding one to add to your collection. I may try to find a CAAD 10 in the future.
