Too good to be true? 2009 Roubaix S-Works SL2 for CAD$2000?
Found this for sale on an obscure Canadian classified site. He claims it's never been ridden. It's got SRam Red and Ksyrium SL wheels. The guy says he's in Germany and is using iSoldIT to facilitate the sale. I have no experience with iSoldIT and am a little leary. He says I pay 50% and then get the bike from them, then have 10 days to decide before paying the rest or returning it.
Does anyone have any experience with iSoldIT? The bike is a 56 and I'm maybe better suited to a 54 in that geometry, so the 10 days could come in handy.
Thx all.

i'm not familiar with isoldit, but in my opinion, keep looking, half up front makes it seem like the money'll dissapear and no bike will show up. ou can find another deal.

I replied to a similar ad for a Tarmac about a year ago, the bike was in Canada but the seller was in Germany. It sounded fishy so i passed

Your gut says it's a bad idea but you want to think it's a good idea so you ask us, hoping we'll say it's a good idea. But we don't. Because it's a bad idea. Like what your gut said.
