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

is this a good second hand bike choice?

hi guys, im just after a review on what a bike like this would be worth paying for?

Its a 2006 Trek 1400 SLR 58cm

its specs are

full 105 groupset
carbon forks and seat post
excellent condition
always serviced and well maintained
super light weight aluminium

im after a first road bike to get into triathlons down the track so what would this be worth paying for a fair price?

Cheers for any help

Used bike prices vary widely depending on where you live. Back home road bikes sell low, here in Austin TX they sell comparatively high. Check EBay or CL for like bikes to get a good average. There is also a website that gives blue book prices on bikes.
Good luck!
