It might be a 1994 eclipse. The Shimano 105 8 speed group dates the components back to between 1994-1998. The frame looks to be from the 1980's. I'm not aware of any 90's bikes with those colors and the name written on the top tube.

The 8 speed shimano 105 group isn't bad. The shifters hold up pretty well if you flush them with WD-40 on occasion. The wheels are Mavic CXP33's if i'm not mistaken, which is a decent wheel. It looks pretty well worn but serviceable. If you are comfortable wrenching on your own bike and are looking for something cheap and efficient, it would be a good deal. If the wheels spin true and smooth, the bottom bracket and headset feel good, and she shifts decently, i would probably offer at the most $300 for it. If you need to do any work on it subtract the cost from that number. I would expect you to be able to buy it for $200. right now is a buyers market. If its not exactly what you want , you should wait.

I just saw a 2006 Orbea with 10 speed Dura Ace and Bontrager X Lites sell for $600.

I would recommend keeping a look out for something newer with higher quality parts. Start with a great frame and upgrade as needed.

This bike would be a good entry level bike but that's about it.

*** i just noticed that you have a 2006 Allez. Why are you looking at this bike?
