“ basically just wondering if this is a decent price for this bike, I know a lot about BMX bikes but the road bike market is foreign to me. Or if anyone has suggestions on other road bikes, this is basically right in the middle of my price range. ”

Some folks online payed more for similar used models. I think the original price was 1200-1300. Reviews complain about the front derailleur. Also, keep in mind that Dave hates treks now since his current bike gives him problems. I say, if its in your price range, go for it.
Agree!

David Hu:
Looking through craigslist people charge a lot for used bikes. It actually looks like a pretty decent deal. Should go check the bike out make sure all the components work and the wheels are in decent condition. Mainly not a lot of wear and tear or corrosion. Haggle too.

I'm not a fan of aluminum frames. I have a steel frame Le Monde. Downside is the weight, though at my weight the extra few pounds don't matter. Carbon fiber is ideal, but it depends what you're looking for in terms of speed versus comfort. The price is good, though. I'd ask what specific derailers he has on there. Good Shimano derailers alone can be worth the price he's asking.
Agree!
