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

Looks kinda new. Or at least very clean. Why are you asking?

i just bought it..the only problem is we do not have the tech to service these wheels here in my country to make it worse..;-( will have to swap my wheels for mavic since they are easier to take care of! our roads are not as smooth as the west!

I'd say you got ripped off. Didn't even include pedals. Poor guy. Got a bike and can't even ride it home.

$450-650 with stock wheels. Not sure what, if anything, the spinergy bring to the table.

Carbon OCRs are selling for $8-900

Sajad must be in a country in Asia - he said no wheel techs available.

That could be good or bad. Bad in that market for bike will be limited, good in that it could be a high-end bike in his country and very desirable.

In USA I doubt it would bring $400 on eBay. Heck a Merlin ExtraLight with Ultegra went for under $800 this weekend !
