^^^ There's no question that carbon bikes like this are head and shoulders above any classic steel bike in performance. For me, I like riding and owning classic steel bikes just like a classic car. I'm not racing so going faster means nothing.

As far as the rim brakes, I don't have a problem with them at all - it just seems like the market is going to have a problem with them and I'm trying to come up with a value. I'm seeing various rim-brake Tarmacs not selling at $750 asking! If the value is low enough, it may wind up in my garage.

ALSO: are there sizes on these things?? I think the newer ones are sized, but I see no markings whatsoever on this one. And the seat post has a huge range. The guy who rode this was probably 6'1". I'm 5'9" and easily adjusted the seat post within the hash marks and can easily standover it.
