Normally I don't speak up about over priced bikes but this is ridiculous.
don't get me wrong, old treks are nice and all... but $500 for 5 year old
105, deore, and bontrager? Even if this guy hardly rode it you'd be better
off buying another bike of the same make that hasn't been built up and just
diy. I hope he comes to his senses and puts a more fair price on the
bike... unless he considers this bike an investment...



/any counter points?
