For $450, a Columbus SLX bike with Campy ergo seems reasonably priced to me.

But, I might seek advice of roadies rather than C&V due to the era of the components on it.

asking price seems pretty fair. can't tell much about its condition from the pics,tho.

big question- is it the correct size for you? it's a crappy deal if the frame doesn't fit.

I flip bikes and could easily make money on that, so...yes.. if everything is in good working order. I bet he would take $400 for it as well.

I'd have no problem paying $450 for a nice bike like that. Probably sold new for 2k+
