KHS Aero Turbo
I noticed this ad a couple months ago for $300. I've thought these to be a decent bike assuming it has tange infinity frame, and some nice suntour parts, so i thought it has sold. Its still for sale so I thought I'd ask if $300 is a fair price, or if I should offer something lower.

that a great looking bike. doesn't seem to have seen alot of use. I am sure it is not exactly cycling season up there. if it is still available I would offer $225 and be prepared to go to 250. they are great bikes but not a popular name. had this been a equal quality trek or Fuji it would have sold faster

That bicycle is very overpriced. With all due respect to Bianchigirll, I would not go a penny over $200 CDN for this bicycle. It's basically a 1987 Bianchi CdI without the prerstigious brand name and with a lower grade tubeset, in this case Tange 900/1000. The 1987 CdI sold for $495 US and this would have been somewhat less. 1987 was the first year for AccuShift and it didn't perform very well, to the point where SunTour almost totally redesigned it. If things go wrong with the shifting system, parts are hard to come by. I imagine Winterpeg has to be one of the weakest used bicycle markets at this time of year. My offer would be $150 CDN, assuming good mechanical condition.

thanks bianchigirll and T-mar! You would think sellers of bikes this time of year would adjust their prices to account for the fact that the bike cant be ridden for another 6 months or cant be taken on a test ride.
