New: Warranty, accessory installation, trouble free. The new ones are smooth, without any rattles.
Used: Money.
Thoughts?
I have a 2007 7.2FX 17.5" and it suits my needs. The downside is that it's a bit stiff on bumps - like sidewalk to road to sidewalk bumps. On bike paths it's great. One thing that may sound strange is that I can't seem to ride slow with it. As I progress through the gears it just keeps going faster with the same cadence. It fits most all of my needs and I don't have any plans on replacing it. I could find a LOT to do with the extra $250
