quickdraw Posted September 9, 2009 Share Hi there Need to find out from the roadbike fundies if this is a worthwhile purchase for 4.5K or if I should look at other options? Campagnola mirage drivetrain. Looking at getting the bike at that price quickdraw2009-09-09 02:53:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted September 9, 2009 Share For what it is worth, you can buy a brand new Campag Mirage 10sp groupset with Campag Khamsin wheels for R4 500 at Chain Reation cycles, delivered to your door including postage and taxes. All you need is a frame and the other stuff, which could be quite cheap second hand. So, the above, considering its age, could be a bit over priced. R3 000.00- R3 500.00would be more reasonable.

Speed Devil Posted September 9, 2009 Share Is the entire bike 4.5k or just the drive train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Devil Posted September 9, 2009 Share At a quick glance and considering the price of new entry level bikes I would say it is a steal. How old is the bike? What wheels/handlebars/stem seat/seatpost etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3500onco. 082 906 2399 Durban Just for your comparison.On this basis I would say the price is just a bit high...and must agree with above comment that below R4K would be more reasonable. I guess you need to look past the cool aesthetic finish and only at the bike itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickdraw Posted September 9, 2009 Share Not looking for anything serious (for now), but it never hurts if it looks good as well It seems like it is a split decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
