Subject: IRD Scantium- more deal hunting helpSo, I have been living an absolute nightmare of training this summer. Been injured for 5 months now. I have to get off my tri bike, unfortunately. Luckly, do to the nature of the injury, I can...finally...at least ride a road bike. (knee injury, morphed into a hip injury). So, I'm breaking out the credit card and thinking of buying a used bike. Or building one, and using a lot of my tri bike parts (which I will then replace this spring once I'm better). Anyways, so far I've been offered 3 options. Trek 2300 full carbon ultegra for 800 obo 2004 corratech race tech 3 full 105 for 600 obo 2003 IRD Scandium Ultegra STI and derailleurs with old RX100 wheels, brakes, and a 105 hollow tech crank for 500 obo I'm thinking the scandium is a good deal. What do you think? I'm going to go look at it tomorrow. I can use my wheels off my tri bike, and if I have to I can use my tektro brakes too. I'm pretty sure I can get it for 450, maybe less. Will probably need tires though, and maybe cables. I'll know more tomorrow. If it looks good, and fits, I think I'm going to get it. Probably swap out the crank with the one on my tri bike, and eventually replace it. I put an add on craigslist looking for an "entry level" "racing bike" (aka at least 105 comp.) and in 2 days this is what I've got. |
