The Trek isn't top of the line, but has many of the "modern" advancements such as brifters (indexed brake shifters), a cassette, and an aluminum frame. Although, I think it is 7 spd.

Is it 100% functional?

Does Lima have saltwater corrosion issues?

I don't think I'd buy a new bike for a "city bike", especially if you aren't sure you want a road bike. If the Trek doesn't work out, you can always sell it for about the same price you bought it for.

The Jamis Endura Sport is used, so it will have already depreciated some, but in a year or two, it may only be worth $500 or so if you decide you don't like it. And, it is a greater target for theft.

Anyway, it never hurts to make an offer on a bike like the Trek. $200?
