Data Point
I might be your guy. I currently have a '98 CTI with Colorado Concept tubing and an F1 fork. It is my everyday bike and I'm not likely to ever sell it.
The ride is great, all day comfortable, quiet, smooth and plenty sprightly enough for my level of talent. It doesn't show a bit of wear and will likely see a couple of more owners after I'm gone.
Here's a picture. I love this bike.
