Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Trek 5500 ~800?

Hello,

I was in the market for a road bike ~$750, and on craigslist I came across this bike; pictures are linked below, ad says it comes with 105 components with ultegra hubs. When asked for further information, seller said the frame was from 1997, and that he recently had the bike checked out and oked by a LBS.

Is this something I should pounce on, or no?

Thanks for your time,
RS

Looks like new cassette and crank set probably recent overhaul with all the 105 stuff on it. I'd get it probably a great first bike.
