First Generation Rival; Good Enough?

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

First Generation Rival; Good Enough?

I'm in the process of selling my 2008 System-Six 4 that is equipped with full first generation SRAM Rival; the version that has silver colored alloy parts. Being first generation it lacks some of the more refined features that current Rival possesses.

How much of a hindrance is this?

I only ask because I am concerned it won't sell as well because of the fact that it's first generation?

...Then again, it's the only SRAM group that you'll find in silver.

It really depends on the market and the price.
