Guys is asking $360. Any thoughts on the bike or price? I liked the way it rode, but that was just coming off the pure fix, so maybe that's why it felt nice.
The 2010 Jamis Beatnik is roughly equivalent in quality to the standard Kilo TT, which sells new for about that price, so that's a bit high for a used bike. I wouldn't pay more than $250 for it, but it is a decent bike and much better than the Pure Fix.
