I used to ride an aluminum QR but I am not sure what model it was, a PR something? It did have a carbonaero fork. The bike had a lot of buzz to it when riding rough roads. I used to max out the tire pressure so reducing that and some good wheels could smooth out the ride. It had 650 wheels which may not be readily available.

If it need TLC you could wind up spending quite a bit to get it functional again as parts may not be available any longer.

$200 is not much to spend. Have you checked the Slowtwitch classified and seen what is for sale in your price range?

Once, I was fast. But I got over it.

Great bike, but totally depends on how much you have to spend to get it running again. If it's a bit, then it's not really worth it. Like other guy said, it's a bit out of date and you'll run into constant challenges with standards that have changed. But if it's mint, then it would be pretty cool.
