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

2007 Specialized Tarmac Elite

Hello forum....I am looking to purchase this bike, but I have a few questions. First of all the seller of this bike is selling it for $1100....from all of the other places that I have looked this looks pretty low for this type of bike and for just being a year old. I was just wanting to know does this sound too good to be true? He says there are a few minor scratches, no defects. Secondly, what should I look for when buying a carbon fiber frame bike besides the obvious cracks? Thanks.

Can you go see/ride it?

If yes, then buy it.

no you shouldn't buy it, but you should give me the sellers info and I will take it off his hands!

LoL!!!!

yeah that is a real steal. get the serial number off hte housing and call specialized to see if it is stolen. If the seller has an issue with you running the serial number then don't buy it and call the cops.
