Is this a good deal? I don't know the Cannondale or the older Shimano stuff very well.

Shimano RSX is now called Tiagra. The deal seems to throw in a new fluid trainer. The trainer alone is worth about $150 new. Seems like a good deal if you are willing to ride Tiagra.

I don't mind the Tiagra. it's the fact that it has a 7 gear cassette. It's obsolete. I'm screwed if I need parts.

The 7 speed cassette is an issue, however. As I mentioned, I have an old crit frame bike and it is a seven speed cassette. In an accid4ent I choose not to describe in detail due to its rather embarrassing nature, I ended up needing some new parts for this bike. I thought Iwould be hosed. Ebay came to my rescue, however, as I was able to find New Old Stock for everyhting I needed and the bike Looks exactly like it did before the accident. SO there are avenues to address ther aprts issue. If you could get this bike for $400 (and it fits and is in good coindition) I would buy it.

After a few e-mails back and forth, the seller seems about ready to give it away just so he doesn't have it in his garage. Where it has been hanging for 7 years. I may b able to get it for quite a bit less than 400.
I'll keep you posted. And thanks for all the help. |

If it gets too bad, can't one just yank the bottom bracket and replace the grupo?
If I wanted something to bang around, I would be tended to scalp cheap replacement parts and learn how to rebuild. It would be an exercise in teaching for me.

I am on my way to look at it. The real test if if I can hit 30mph indefinitely.
If I can that it's a no-brainer. I hope there is a 1/4 mile of road that I can use for the test. |
