Owned it for years.. haven't sold it

This bike is fast, it's light, it's great. Sure it's a bit twitchier than gravel bikes but it's better on the road, too. The frame is the same general geometry and weight as today's frames, but this one was much cheaper than today's. The only drawbacks is that it's 135mm QR (vs 142mm thru axle these days). This bike is 8.4kg with the original wheels, but once you swap wheels, seat post and cranks, its a 7.9kg bike.

Would Recommend?: Yes!

Fantastic bike. Owned for years.

I purchased this bike new in 2013 (2014MY). I've raced CX, done road rides, gravel rides and bike packing. Light, strong and fast (54 was 8.4kg). Makes even newer gravel bikes look heavy. Only just sold it (June 2020) and I must say they really hold their resale value as well. Would buy another.
