How much does this bike worth?

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

So you posted your question on how much the bike was worth, contacted the seller, negotiated a deal, picked up the bike, got a new 105 front derailleur and installed it, took a pick, and posted it, in a little over 3 hours?


Or you already bought the bike before you asked how much it was worth?

No I bought it yesterday but fixed the FD today, its a little bit too tall for my wife, I was just trying to see how much I can get for it, maybe I can buy her a comfort bike.

Your posts at best were unclear, and at worst intentionally misleading.

If you want honest advice it would be best to be candid in asking for it.
