Kinda a weird situation. I dont really know why she would post it so soon is she was planning in having it for sale in June lol bot whatever. She said she is looking for $125 for it. I dont know anything about it other than that it looks like a nice bike from the pictures. It would more than likely be for a flip, that is, if I could sell it for a lot more than her asking price. Model, frame material, components, and worth would all be fantastic.

Thanks,

That looks like a nice bike, but I can't tell what any of the components are from the pictures except for the shifters, which are Campy Ergo's. 8-speed? Just can't tell.

Is it worth $125.00 for yourself to ride? Yes. Is it worth $125.00 for a flip? Maybe. Need better pictures of the components.

OK I am in the process of trying to get better pictures or everythint via email. I have a couple options. If it is my size, which I highly doubt, I would definitely ride it. If I could make double my money, I would flip it. If it would fit a neighbor kid whos dad is looking for a nice bike for him to get started on, I would mark it up a tiny bit and sell it to him, because after all, the dad used to be a mechanic and has helped me a ton with my last 2 bikes, overhauling them and letting me borrow his tools, stand, knowledge and time!

It's an auction, not $125. She expects more. Best offer she gets by the first week of June.

Either that, or that's when the divorce is final.

Well I think she would probably take it right when she puts it for sale. Is it a good deal if I get it for that?

I'd buy it for 125$. In fact, I'd buy it fast, so no one else could.

I'm thinking that bike should go for at least $300 or more. I don't know what the market is like in Eugene though. For $125, I'd buy it for the brifters.

The trick is not to act too eager. My guess is she's starting to realize that $125 isn't enough.

+1 Brifter bike will not last at that price point.

+1 She has posted the listing as an auction, which violates C/L rules. I bet someone will either quickly snag it, or she will end up getting a lot more. Appears she lacks possession of the bike, which could be a snag.

lack of possession of the bike does seem to be a fairly big snag. Although it could be on a moving truck or something. I was also wondering if the replacement bike has been ordered.

Look up at my other post ^^ I posted pictures of the bike, but its got full Campagnolo Veloce components.

I flagged it for being an auction. It's still up. I guess we need more to do the same.
