Good deal? or not.
What do you think something like this is worth?
https://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
I think it is pretty sexy, but might be some sort of scam that someone else can point out better than I can... It seems like the front tire is bent a bit, what do you guys think?

Whats the differance between STI shifters and the ones you are accustomed to, sorry. I dunno the diff :/ 
By the way I just noticed its steel, how much do you think it will weigh than... Hmmm

Don't listen to Zorro (or anyone else ) about their anti-Shimano components (STI) bias. STI shifters were developed by Shimano to make shifting gears more efficient and have been around about 15 years and going. Some folks just prefer their bikes to be "pure" Italian 
The Brava is a decent bike and if you can get it for less than $400, it's a good deal. It'll probably weigh 22-23 lbs.

Guess you read me a bit wrong. I have nothing against Shimano I really like the funky-toothed freewheel that's on my old Fuji - I'm just a retro-grouch through and through. Give me friction shifters (SunTour preferred), non-aero brakes and a fine steel steed, and I'll be happy. I'll never have to worry about indexing problems or having to throw everything out if a small part wears out.
