It's the Pearl white one with TREK all over it (I thought Specialized was bad). It's full Ultegra w/ a triple and Rolf Vector comps in Blue. It sounds like a deal for $2300... Is it?

That's not a bad deal.

I recently bought a '02 5200 with very low miles for $1675 shipped to my door; so it all comes down to how bad you want DA over Ultegra.

Personally I would look around for a newer 5200 with less miles for less money -- Since you're asking this question, I'm assuming money is an object.

You could sock away the saved cash and upgrade to DA or campy down the road...if you feel it's worth it.

Is which some kind of deal? :confused:

Yes, 5500's came with DA and Vector Pros, and from what I've seen after 2 months of looking, usually go for $2000 - $2600...on Ebay anyways.
