A friend has been offered this bike (specs below). I'm a road guy, so I don't know, but is this a decent bike for city riding?
New, the owner said he paid $850. What's it worth today?
The catch: the owner is leaving town today, and so a decision has to be reached soon.
Thanks for your help.

This seems to be the bike:

I don't know what the guy is asking for it but I would offer 250.00. As for the 27 pounds, that bike would weigh thirty on my scale. I'd love to have the scale the manufacturer is using!

i have the same frame on my scott (at least it looks the same to me) and it's a pretty stout frame. it has held up well to my abuse (at over 230)
