Got this bike (my first road bike and first bike I've owned in like 10 years!) last month for $240 in Austin, TX. I probably overpaid, but I feel like the road bike demand here is pretty high, so I rarely see good deals on CL (which I still check often). Guy said he bought it for $300, don't know if that was a lie.

My brakes are 105. But unfortunately I think my shifters and derailleurs were downgraded? They are indexed and the RD says "Shimano SIS" on it, but definitely do not seem to be 105. Can anyone shed any light on these? And yeah, my right shifter is missing its rubber grip. =[
There's a small 1cm (vertically) dent on my top tube =/ It looks sharper in the picture than it really is because of the picture angle, but it is a bit softer and rounded, a little less than 1cm wide. The indention is ~1mm or a tiny bit less.
But even with these slight flaws and light scratches and wear all around (I think it's great for a 23 year old bike!), I'm in love with it =]
