Hi everyone,

I'm going to see this T400 later today - 2pm ET (found on CL). The buyer says it's 21 speed, fenders, lights, rack, very good condition $120. It's a 1995 model. I searched these forums and also googled it but came up with very little info.

The only place I could find specs were on Bikepedia, for a 1996 model (see below)

I know this is a touring bike but the reason I'm buying it is for an all-round bike ie riding around town, doing errands etc that I can leave locked outside for an hour or so which is why I'm posting in the road forum. I do have a road bike but I would never leave it outside.

The buyer's asking 120.00 which seems like a (very?) good price from what I could gauge. He seems to be legit ie I dont think the bike is stolen. My question is: is this a good deal? Is there anything I should look out for (apart from fit)? This will be my first used bike.

Thanks!

Assuming it's in good condition you should jump all over it. A touring bike works great for around town and if you don't like it, you can probably flip it for double that.

That's a good deal.
