MSRP was $1,550; it's possible that the seller only paid (new) in the range of that asking price. Base your evaluation of used worth accordingly.

Yea theres no way I'd pay over a grand for a used bike... Not that there's not used bikes worth more than that out there.
It just seems... impersonal to me. Buying a really nice bike used... Like being Kiera Knightley's 2nd husband.

The other thing people don't think about on used bike is manufactures are getting a lot more picky on warrantying frame that you are not the original owner. I know a couple of people who have cracked frames on bike they got used and were unable to produce the documents needed to get them warranted.

Why pay 5 or 6 G's for a really nice ride when you can get it for +/- 2k? Impersonal is fine with me if I find the right mix of components- no brainer. So I'm not the "first one"; just means it has some EXPERIENCE

I work on a lot of experienced bikes everyday. Repairs add up quick, and the parts are not always readily available.,,,,BD
