info on 2002 Lemond alpe d'huez? (weight, ride?) Compared with 2009 Jamis Satellite?

anyone have any info on the 2002 Lemond alpe d'huez? i looked online and found some specs, but i could not find an approximate weight of the actual bike. also, i was wondering if anyone had first hand experience with it and could tell me some stuff about it.

I have a chance to potentially buy it from a friend for around $650, but I feel that's kind of steep for a 7 year old bike. Should I try to barter it down a bit? What's a more reasonable price for it? I recently heard from another friend who picked one off of CL for under $500. Should I be shooting for around $450 or would something like $575 be more realistic?

Alternatively, I could just spend the $650 and buy a new 2009 Jamis satellite (down from $950 MSRP). Compared with the Lemond, would be the better deal, and which would translate into better performance on the road?

I know that the Satellite only has Tiagra components, while the Lemond has 105 components, but does the fact that it's 7 years old make it a washout?
