Interesting test, there's also the chance that the old alan frame and the new components are the best combination. Jan Heine seems to love his CX alan and apparently it was one of the most successful CX frames of all time (but you probably knew that already)
My old Alan worked really well, too. I really love how the bike seems to spring out of corners like a cheetah – it really “planes” well for me. It may be old-fashioned these days, but it still works as well as it did when I first raced it almost 20 years ago. That shouldn’t come as a surprise: These bikes have won more ‘cross world championships than any other.

Thanks.
It is actually a test. I want to know how this older geo performs (call it a methodical doubt on my romantic idea of how it all was better in the past ;-)) and, if it really is better than the CAADX, will use the geo to have a new steel frame built. Plan is to put the Ultegra 11 Disc groupset (from my CAADX) on that new frameset. and sell the CAADX.
