The general opinion seems to be that the seller of the Sirrus is asking way too much for the bike. I'm glad I posted this here because I wouldn't have had a very good feel for what the bike is worth otherwise. As you said dynaryder, "that Sirrus better be mint" - and if it's not I'm going to start the bargaining around $50. And even if it is mint I'm starting to think that I should stop around $100. He has had it on CL since Jan 24th. However, if the seller has upgraded all or most of the components then I might have to rethink it abit. I'll find out on Saturday morning.
