Well the WorldTraveller is a 2018 model and before that it was the Traveller and even earlier the Randonneur. But it really depends on what kind of bike you are looking for. I have a soft spot for the all-carbon Terraliner Carbolite though even older models are still really expensive.

From what I've read it was more of a fully featured city/commuter bike so I'm not surprised it is kind of noodly. Should be better with less weight.
Cool colour though.
