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

What year? Is this eBay or something? How come it ends in 30 minutes?

It doesn't sound like an amazing deal to be honest. 9-speed (I'm assuming) Ultegra, Bonty selects, etc. can and should be had for less. But post those pics.

What year? New or used? I had a 2200 (believe it was a year 2000 model) and paid about $1500 for it brand new.

I wouldn't pay more than $700 if used. Brand new, $1000 is pretty decent price.

Sorry for the ****y pictures, my phone is all I had.
It's the Great Maine Bike Swap at my college and it ends at 2 which is the reason for the time crunch

Was very happy with my 2200...granted it was 8 yrs ago, not all that familiar with the latest models. If you can talk them down a bit from $1000 i'd say it's a pretty good deal.

That is not a bad price. I almost bought a 2007 model at close out for $1100, but it had 105\Ultegra mix.
