Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

cyclo-cross bike that is.

about half the original cost depending on age and condition. If it's not beaten up totally, half of original would be close, just depends how keen you are to get it. Hard to say given you haven't specified frame only or is it complete?

It's a $500 frame so I assume you mean complete with wheels and all.

for a touring/cross bike, yeah it sounds like a good deal with Ultegra on it. 24" is a BIG bike, are you very tall?

sounds to me like you need to visit a few bike shops to see what you're looking at and get some basic guidelines to size and type of bike etc. This forum is not the place to get ultimate advice on what you should buy off e-bay.

How they measure that bike to be 24" I'm not sure, it doesn't look too big at all.
