For complete specifications: 1998 Caloi Comp - BikePedia That model came in three versions with the most expensive costing almost $2K. This is the least expensive. Shimano 105 components are decent mid level. You can read some previous comments here: http://www.bikeforums.net/road-cycli...i-quality.html. It is pretty light when you compare what the same amount of money spent on a new road bike would get you - entry level components and probably quite a bit heavier. That said, half the original price isn't really a bargain for a bike that is already 17 years old. Anything that old nearly always needs a complete going over, cleaning and lubricating all of the bearings, possibly replacing tires just because they may be too old and replacing brake pads for sure. The last item is does it fit you very well? If it is even slightly too big or too small, walk away and keep looking.
