07 Schwinn Madison

If you guys could have a chance to get one of those sweet 07 Schwinn Madisons that has only been ridden a handful of times for $350, would you pull the trigger?

It's practically like-new and I really like the look of it....

I just don't know if it's worth it or not

I bought mine new for $350 in 2007... that being said if it's in perfect condition then it's probably worth it.
Is it stock? I've changed out pretty much all the parts since then, but that's just me being obsessive.

Wow, you got a hell of a deal to get one at the price in 2007! Yeah, the guy says he's only rode it "once" but i still have to check it out. from the pictures it looks like it's in perfect cosmetic condition.

And yes, all stock parts...

But I think I might do it!

Yeah, I did get a good deal.
I'd really make sure it's perfect before forking over the $350, but if it is, go for it! And if it's just some cosmetic defects, maybe offer a few bucks less.

I got my '08 new for 370, make sure its in good/great shape before pulling the trigger. The white one does look awesome IMO. Good luck!
