Another how much is this worth thread.
I'm looking to get my girlfriend a bike that actually fits her and found this.
It's got pretty much everything we want:
-STI shifters
-52cm frame
-Tripple crank
-Pretty colour (her requirement)
I just don't think that it's worth the $600 asking price considering it's from the mid-90s and has an old aluminum frame and 8sp 105 components. According to Bikepedia, it's at the latest from 1996.
I was hoping to low-ball down to $200 (most she's willing to spend on a bike) so she can have a bike that actually fits her so she can come ride with me.
What are your thoughts, BF?
Summary: Bike looks like it's not worth asking price. What do you think it's worth?

Check completed listings on ebay. The price he's asking might be a bit on the high side, depending upon condition, but not by much.
