Newish bikes tend to be valued based on the original MSRP. That bike had an MSRP of $1300. So the asking price is 65% of MSRP, which is really high for a 15 year old bike. Realize that many buyers didn't pay MSRP, year end dealer close outs can be really sweet. A bike 15 years old will be valued more like 40% of MSRP, if in really good shape. $850 should buy you a really top of the line bike. Keep looking.

OH it was at the bike shop. that may explain the price but I agree with Work it is a bit over priced.

those bikes had a decent frame. if the components have been updated, it may be worth the money. if it is stock and very clean, wrk101 is probably spot on.

40% of $1300 is $520. So that is quite a bit of negotiating. Shops can charge over market on used bikes. Bikes that I sell for $300 around here, the shops get $450. Buyers are more comfortable buying from a shop and pay a hefty premium for it. Its not like the buyer is getting something different/better rehabbed/or whatever at the shop I am referring to, as they are selling bikes for me, and put them side by side with their regular stock.
