I wonder if the current crop is still like this, really easy to ride? The aggressive geometry is fine. The bike hasn't changed in 20 years and neither have I, except power isn't what it was, nor probably is endurance, but the bike doesn't care.
My first "real" bike was a '00 5200. I got to Cat 3 on that bike (still am, but that has nothing to do with the bike).
