Beautiful frame and will likely last forever. I bought my 2000 Vortex frameset used in 2003 and even after >70,000 all-weather miles, with a new set of decals, it still looks like it just came from the factory.
BTW if your Classic has a 1" steerer, it's likely an MY2000 - MY2001 was the first year the Classic included a 1 1/8" steerer.
