Thank you for asking.

Thank you. This already gives me a good idea of what to do. As for the price and the bicycle and model...if all checks out, is it reasonable, or should I hold out for something better.

Good day all. I have owned bicycles all my life, but have never bought secondhand. I can now buy a Scott Scale 50 26" secondhand for R5000. I would like to know if it is worth the price, or if I should try to negotiate a bit. I would also like to know what I should look for when taking the bicycle for a test ride later today. I have some pictures I can share. They show that it is a full Deore groupset, with a Deore LX crankset. The wheels are 'Scott Components' branded. I would really appreciate any advice. Nick
