Fit is everything. However a 6.9 Madone for $2500.00. It would be worth it to buy it, and worst case flip it for $3500.00. You CAN'T go wrong!

...what kind of bike are you riding now?
the madone is weird the ETT is relatively short for its said sizes, also is it a performance or pro fit? compare your geometries and ride it.

Thanks for the replies guys. As I said, it felt way too stretched out on a 110 stem. I'm sure I can get it right if I played around with things, but I'd rather not take any chances. And yeah, I could just buy it and flip it, but he is giving me the deal as a favor and I'd rather not come across like I'm taking advantage of him...even though he is a rich mother f'er.

Buy it ride it if you don't like it sell it and give your friend the difference in the sale vs. your purchase.
