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

New to bikes need help pricing!

I'm looking at this 2008 Fuji Finest 2.0 and was wondering what it is worth now?

https://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/B...02.0&Type=bike

I don't know how to value the bike myself and don't want to get ripped off.

I bought a new 2008 Fuji Finest from performance bikes in february of this year. Paid 545 out the door with tax. The 2011 finest is listed right now for 550 so I would say no more than 400 for the used one

Maybe this amount if it is in pretty much pristine condition. If it looks well used, tires need to be replaced, brakes and dérailleurs need adjustment - then maybe only about $300-$350 is all I'd pay.
