Buying a Cannondale R800
I am interested in buying a road bike after just riding a pretty basic mountain bike for several years. My friend's dad has a Cannondale R800 (I think it's a 2004) that he bought last year but hasn't ridden very much. He wants to sell it to me but neither of us know very much about bikes. Does anyone know what a reasonable price would be?
P.S. He bought it for $1300.

Yeah, I'd say $700 seems pretty fair, perhaps a little more if it's in near perfect condition and hasn't been ridden much.
