This is not C&V but I'm trying my hand at refurbishing it. I think it is 2003. It was picked from the garbage along with a Cervelo P3 & a Kestrel 400 a couple of years ago. What a crazy throw away!

I like it.. It rides smooth. It has a very relaxed seat tube angle. I hated the factory stem and spacers, so I replaced those. I just put the FP60s on there and stored the red Rolfs.
