While not a steal, in NYC, i think the asking price is not unreasonable. Make your best deal and good luck!

I think it's fair.

I surely wouldn't sell it for less if it were mine.

Good luck...it looks like a pretty good deal to me...$700 for Serotta...if it fits, it should be good!

Looks very nice, price seems reasonable. I paid more for mine in similar condition but it was all Super Record.

I wouldn't sell mine for $700 and it's in pretty rough shape compared to this bike.

+1 to the above - if you offered me under $700 I'd tell you where to stick it.

Good looking bike, nice pictures. I think $700 is a good price, especially for NYC.

It really bothers me that the one brake cable is routed in front of the bars, though.
