Depends where you live. Realize that a brand new bike comparable to that one would cost you close to $850. If it is pristine, ready to ride, and does not have any signs of wear or defects, price is about right. Any defects would knock the price down of course.

So it really depends on the definition of "gently used". And of course, it needs to fit. One nice thing is that a lot of bikes spend their lives hanging in the garage, rarely if ever ridden. I picked up a 1986 bike last week with less than 10 miles on it.
