Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't think so. I got a full bike. R5000 .. (Caad8 ?) with Chorus 2006 10 speed shifters & derailleurs, Ksyerium Elite wheels, similar FSA crank ... etc ... for $1000 plus $60 shipping. But I'm no expert

You could buy a new Caad9 and part it out for less than that.

No way. ALU does have limited life span, and you never really know how it was treated. Like the other's said ^^
