Ye dude...just the fact that the bar ends are not right says to me the previous owner did not take any care of the bike himself... Just on principle that'd be enough to stop me buying this bike. If u were in George I'd say head to George Cycle and Sport...they have a new Silverback Nabraska (not 2011 or 2010 model I presume) for a little over 5k...Considering thats like half price I would say get the friend to pitch in But ye, as everyone says...just post here in the classifieds and you will surely get a much more awesome bike for your price than that... Also, is that a carbon rear triangle...? What is the fatigue like on carbon over so many years, does it not loose stiffness quite significantly?
