Last of its kind with the rim brakes. They should put that thing in a museum
Disc brakes have definitely negatively impacted value at all levels. This is the best selling drop bar bike at our shop:

While it is actually quite nice, it is still an aluminum frame with Tiagra components (and with mechanical discs, to add insult to injury) whereas in the rim-brake days, that price would get you 105 level components. On the flip side, the discs allow for much larger tire clearance which is nice (and we encourage all of our customers to take full advantage of that). Not to mention Tiagra 2x10 works incredibly well.
