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

Trek 5200 OCLV Good Deal?

The "new bike" bug has caught our household. Even though I just got my Felt not too long ago, hubby just got a new Tarmac the other day and we came across this in the local classifieds. It's a 2004 Trek 5200 OCLV with full Shimano Ultegra (incl pedals), silver paint scheme, wireless computer and rolf victor wheels (w/new tires) and excellent overall condition. It has a triple up front which I like. $700 is what the lady is asking... any input? I have ridden an aluminum trek in this size before and didn't mind it. Thinking the full carbon might be nice especially for the price... any insight?

PS... still a casual riding beginner here but all the shopping for hubby's bike has got me intrigued and carbon is so light
