Expert 815 Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Stop me from making a bad decision... The reserve is set at $2000, ( I emailed the seller). What would this bike usually go for? The Comps are around 3k aren't they? |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Stop me from making a bad decision... FYI. They had the bike on Craigslist for $2,495 so reserve will be quite a bit higher than the current bid. edit: I see you now know that. Edited by popsracer 2009-03-30 6:18 PM |

Veteran 363 Ft. Myers, Florida | Subject: RE: Stop me from making a bad decision... Don't buy it, it won't fit you!! Seriously, every Specialized I've ever owned (3 so far) has been too long in the frame for me. Unless you're over 5'10" it probably won't fit you too. I love Specialized, but I've yet to find one that fits me (I'm 5'7") Save your money for one you can get fitted for at a bike shop. |

Expert 815 Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Stop me from making a bad decision... Wow this is hard... I tried this bike out less than a week ago at a LBS, was only on it for about 5 min though. If the reserve isn't met I might go back to the LBS and make sure it fits, then shoot him an offer. |

Master 1572 PA | Subject: RE: Stop me from making a bad decision... How long will you get to ride it even if you go back to your LBS to try it again? Enough to make the decision anymore clear, prob not. If you buy it and you don't end up liking it, you can always resell it, no? I realize that's a pain, but it's an option. |

Veteran 186 Denver | Subject: RE: Stop me from making a bad decision... I have one and i love it. It is so cool in the yellow and black. I got the pro so it is red but the yellow is so much better looking like a mad bumble bee. I say go for it but then again i am not the one putting the money down. |

Expert 815 Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Stop me from making a bad decision... Sadly...no. I was going to email the guy if it didn't sell. Oh well, sad to see that go. Better for my bank account though! |

I am about ready to go sans rear brake. :p Just think of the weight savings. Not to mention the fact that without brakes you could increase your speeds by several MPH Edited by Sprint_DA 2009-03-31 8:24 AM |
