I've found a used 2004 Poprad and would like to determine the original comp specs as well as the list price. The add is asking $800 and said that the bike was originally purchased for $1300. This seems kind of steep even if it had limited miles. Just recently a 2005 Cross Hairs sold for $750 in the same area and those built up new run over $2k. What is really odd is that the a new 2006 Poprad (non disc) lists at $1200. I also found a 2005 Poprad that was won in raffle and was never used selling for $1100.

In general my questions are:
1) Is the 2004 list price of $1350 accurate? Assume that the components got much cheaper if the 2006 list is $120.
2) What are the component differences between 2004, 2005, and 2006. Lemond doesn't have them in their archives.
3) What is a fair market price for a barely used Poprad based upon its year?
4) Is anybody aware of any market differences between the yearsin the frame/fork that impacts the quality and performance of the ride.

The 2004 was the first year they started using Shimano 105. I believe the list was $1200. My girl friend got one in august/september 2004 for $800 brand new, she did get a good deal. A local shop was selling them for $1200 which was list.I believe they may have used 853 steel for the first time this year as well. I'd say if it is in perfect shape then $800 is ok but it probably should really be more like $600.

I just paid $1000 for a new 06, so I would say $800 is a little high.

I paid $1100 for a new 04 in 04. '04 was the last year for 853 (now its truetemper) first year for all 105 drivetrain. Its a great bike. If it is really "like new", then its a steal at $800!

Which was lighter, the 853 or OX Platinum canti Poprad?

Dunno about which was lighter, but my '06 (OX Plat) weighed in at 20.4 lbs with 700x23's on it this weekend.

Pretty light, I think.
