If it's clean and working, it is a very good price. BUT....... MAKE SURE those RSX brifters are in working order, because if they're not you'll be in trouble as they are not fixable. Sometimes you can hose out the gunk and get them working again, but don't count on it before paying for the bike. You can always convert to barcon's or DT shifters if that's your thing, but if you're after brifters make sure they work.

RSX brifters were good in their day, but that was a while ago so most of them are either broken or have high mileage on them and might likely wear out soon. Be mindful of that when you test drive.

EDIT: I just re-read the CL posting - he's got Sora shifters on there now. See - the RSX one's wore out! See if you can get a feel for how long ago he swapped them out - Sora's aren't repairable, either.....
