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

Litespeed Archon C3 2010

I've got an opportunity to pick one of these up for just under $900, 200 miles on it.

Does anyone else have this bike that would like to chime in on it?

At that price, it seems like a no-brainer to me.

I ride with a buddy who has that bike in white. He likes it a lot and I think it looks great. He built it up with ultegra and zipp 404 firecrest wheels and is pretty light. That's as far as my useless input goes

Reviews have been pretty positive. You are buying it complete (with 6700 Ultegra) correct? I'd look it over really well, but it's easily worth that much intact. Now if it's frameset only...?

Yes, it is a complete bike, dead stock. He's offering to bring it over to my campus and let me test ride it. I'm a little wary of buying a carbon bike used however...
