thoughts on the value of this
I have a great opportunity to buy a 2008 Specialized Roubaix Elite Compact. SRAM Rival groupo with Fulcrum Racing 5 wheelset.
https://www.specialized.com/us/en/bik...rtcompactrival
I currently ride a 2010 Secteur with Shimano 2300 groupo and Alex rims. at 41, I am not winning any races, but I like and know the frame and the geometry, and I think I can get a little faster and efficient on longer rides with this bike. I do a few duathlons, and enjoy brisk 50 or more mile rides up to a century.
Guy selling says it has only 95 miles, and was originally $3200. being 4+ years old, I think there is some loss of value there, but want to see your thoughts on a good price being almost brand new. Not familiar enough with Rival to know where it stacks up with 105 or Ultegra.
Candid thoughts appreciated.
