A good buy or rip off

[Eugene]

Is this bike really the "steal" that the seller claims it to be or is it totally over priced?

 

Can a bike of this age, with these specs command such a premium?

My personal opinion, the seller is very optimistic, considering he is not willing to negotiate.

He can say it is a steel at that price and he can Ti to sell it .....

The bike is worth to him what it is....market value unfortunately not.

 

In SA he will most probably not achieve his price maybe he should try ebay or so and sell it off

Needs more than a beer - try a brain swap, cos at that price demand he's clearly craaaaaaazy!

He obviously doesn't race. The bike is below the UCI legal limit!

It was with the wheels... was quite a while ago with a luggage scale...
