You can try for sure. There is always someone that would bite at that price.

Radiohead84

I am not selling it...i am looking to buy it.

badkarma

I'd get some photos of it before seriously considering it.

It doesn't seem like a great deal (but not a bad one), but consider offering him $200 and see if he bites.

I think you have the main tubes and frame/stays backwards. ZR9000 Alu /w carbon stays and fork.

No, I was wondering about this myself, so I checked out an old catalog. It is indeed carbon main tubes with alloy stays.

Radiohead84

I am confused. I dont know anything about bikes..this is the bike I am looking to buy.

badkarma

Usually, a bike has a carbon front fork. So when the ad said the frame was carbon with an aluminum fork, that seemed strange, so people were asking if the ad had it backwards (but someone posted that the ad is correct).

I would get some photos of the bike before even considering pulling the trigger.

No it's not.

yah i asked for more pictures...some in the daylight but he has not repsonded yet. Are those componets good...i have no idea.

Shimano has 5 levels of components (in order of worst to best): Sora, Tiagra, 105, Ultegra, Dura Ace. You're right in the middle at 105, so I'd say yeah they're damn fine components.

There's a sticky at the top of the Road Cycling forum for under $700 road bikes. If you sift through that, you'll see some answers to noobie questions. I'd suggest looking at that to educate yourself more before making a purchase.

I have that exact bike but it is a 61 cm. It is incredibly comfortable on long rides. I also have a roubaix and would rate this bike just below it on overall owner satisfaction. The 105 is just fine on this bike, mine is a triple.

Ugh, down tube shifters. If you are fine with that, go for it. It's hard (at least here) to find a used b-rifter bike (shifters are also brake levers, much easier/better) for a reasonable price. In my mind, a new trek 1000 is a better deal if you have the budget and if you know you want a decent bike.

The 2100 series bikes use carbon tubes joined by aluminum lugs. Later, the lugs were changed to carbon fiber. Trek is still building their OCLVs this way. I ride with two guys that have this frame and like them a lot. One was even set back to Trek last year for refinishing and came back looking like brand new. If you get the bike, upgrade to a carbon fork and STIs and you'll have a sweet ride for a third of the price of a new Trek 5200.

Overall, if it is good condition and fits you, it is a good deal. I had a 2100 that I bought used, and rode it for a year before selling it. It was a very nice riding bike. I still see alot of them on the road around here, so they seem pretty durable, as well.

Mine had the RSX STI shifters, though. It was a 7 speed bike with a double. I ended up selling it on CL for $400, and had more than a few inquiries at that price.

Are you local? Definitely worth a visit- sounds like a great bike for $250. Is it worth buying and shipping? Maybe not- is there much of a used market in your area (check craigslist, etc.).
