I cannot judge wear and tear/parts condition , of a used bike prospect, just by you quoting a brand name..
where I live , the used bike offerings in the shop , Mountain bikes sell quicker than road bikes..
NB you can order a new Trek like the dual sport DS, online,
but they ship it to your nearest Trek dealer, for assembly before you get it..
only then does their warranties have validity being professionally assembled ..
then you go pick it up..

Colnago impact is at $1000+ not $700..

The Colnago is on sale for 699. It sounds like a good deal so I might pick it up even though it cost more than I intended to spend It looks nice, but I can't tell you if its worth the money (at discount or full price), is it?
The DS 2 from Trek would be 600, so the colnago is just a bit more expensive but I like the look of it more, and apparently, it's quite a venerable brand, but, I don't know how I feel paying just for the brand, so, i could really use some input. Are the components what one would expect for this amount of money? Cheers!
