Hello everyone sorry if this is in the wrong section. I have a friend selling a 2013 R3 with DA derailleurs and brakes and ultegra 6800 shifters. He's asking 2300 canadian. Just wondering if this is worth it? It comes with alloy wheels but I will be putting my own on there. Bike seems in prtty good condition. Was a project build that hasn't been ridden much.

Don't buy a bike without test riding it, no matter how cheap it is. Don't "make do" with a bike that almost fits.
Gravel is a no-no for a road bike.
Wow, that's a long post.. so many questions. Have you tried the search function on this forum? Road bikes are awesome fun, best of luck on your riding adventures :-)

Trek Madone 5,5 2008?
Hello from a new member!
Lacking expertise in carbon, the crowd at Classic and Vintage suggested I post here. I encountered the bike shown in the first pic - the picture is all I know for now, given that I am away from that location. Some detective work helped me to identify the bike as Trek Madone 5.5 2008.
Questions: (1) Can anyone with recent experience of buying/selling provide info on estimated value/price? (2) Any glaring issues that owners of this bike have encountered? (3) Feel free to add any (unsolicited but much welcomed) advice, given my lack of expertise in carbon.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks choddo. No more pics, nor information on the bike. It was not available anymore, so I could not see it. Thanks!

Better still, I have completely removed the ‘questions’ part of the title, because it continues to confuse so many newbs.

Once again folks, this thread is not for questions about bikes, it’s for questions about the forums.
