I think they are all overpriced, BUT the Trek 1.1 is probably the closest to being a fair price. There is no way that it weighs 15 pounds. Not 25 pounds either. Probably closer to 20-21 pounds. Ideally, $400 is what I would shoot for, IF the bike fits, and the condition is good. Go see the Trek, and make sure it fits before making an opening bid of $350, and see what the Seller says. Don't try grinding him down without bothering to show up and look at it first. The Seller may claim that it's practically new, but it doesn't take long to do expensive damage to a bike.

I have my doubts about how long low spoke count wheels would last in an everyday commuter situation on city streets, so I would not even consider the other two bikes.
