The final offer he is willing to take is $800 on it. Although I know the extras aren't worth a ton used, the alternative is buying them new.
The bike shop said it needs a tune-up and a new chain, total cost of about $100. They inspected the bike for about 5 minutes and then made that decision. So my first question is, can you evaluate a bike's needs that quickly?
So what do you guys think, for my first road bike? I thought it rode well, but did feel like it needed a tune up. It was only moderately comfortable, but I also wasn't in bicycle shorts. At this point I'm kinda between this, or taking a couple extra months to save up some extra money and go new with something like a Madone 2.1. But after pedals and other extras, I would think I'd be cashing in at almost double the cost of this thing.
Any final thoughts?
