I've found a Maruishi RX7 at a smaller LBS in town. Currently I'm riding a Trek FX 7.5 Hybird and I've been thinking I'd like a road bike to putter around on. This one has a full Shimano 105 group (albeit a 25 year old 105 group) on it and it looks like pretty good shape. I didn't have too much time to look at it. I'm most concerned about the size. I need a 57 or 58, but I'd settle for a 56 and this may just be that.

I know that not many folks know much about these. I've done some research on them. It's triple butted CroMo steel and the thing is very light weight. I didn't see any glaring issues.

I have a 25 year old Diamondback "mountain bike" with no suspension. It has a Deore LX drive train, CroMo frame and I've put some newer bontrager wheels with 26 X 1.5" slicks on it. I'm hoping I can get the Maruishi in trade -- or maybe trade plus a little cash.

The LBS is asking $225 for the RX7. So, it's not a rare deal, but it's about near the right price. The shop doesn't reopen until Tuesday, so we'll just have to see.
