If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

bros, I need helpz:
I can get this, used, for $1900+ shipping.
I can get a CAAD10 replacement frame for $700, wheel for $400, RD and chain for $120, totaling $1220.
Buy a CAAD10 105 for $1400 (ugly frame, **** 105).
What do I do? The only problem with the Evo is that its pretty nice and I'd hate to trash the frame because it can't be replaced, unlike a CAAD10.

Finally biked to work on Friday for the first time thanks in part to a busted heater core, but I had been meaning to start anyway. It's about 31 miles total, with a net uphill on the way home. That plus the temp increase followed by my fatigue from the morning made it a good bit slower but I still enjoyed it. I was super alert in the morning which I haven't felt in a while. I usually do not exercise in the AM.
I'm glad I've had previous years of road biking experience. The work commuter traffic attitude definitely makes it less comfortable to share the road.

Yeah we do, which is nice for a quick wash of the hair and pits. Luckily I don't sweat much so I don't smell of death if I skip a full shower.
I was pleased with my cardio which coped handily while my legs were burning quite a bit. It lessened as I progressed through the ride which was nice.

Sick bike hustler, thanks for the kind words about my NM pics.
Had an epic lost lake ride this weekend. For those of you in the know, this trail takes you right up near wheeler peak (the highest point in NM, almost 14k feet elev). It's about a 20 mile total trip, which might not sound like much to you road guys, but trust me it's an all day epic.
We crushed it, did it in about 3 pulls on the way up. Blew a bunch of hikers minds that we were riding it. Hung out with some forest service guys at the top who were really cool, and didn't care about us riding the trail (which is kind of a gray area around here).

I have commuted by bike on and off for about 30 years. Shortest was about 12 miles round trip. Longest was around 2003, when I worked at Ellsworth bikes in the original location Ramona, CA. 72 mile round trip with about 2200' of total climbing. Did that 2-4x a week plus 10hrs or so on the weekends for quite a while. Best shape of my life.
