Used road bike advice

Post by marty1133 »

Hi,
I am looking at buying a used cube agree pro sram rival road bike. It’s in mint condition, only been cycled about 200km. The link below shows the bike spec.

https://archiv.cube.eu/en/2022/578100

The only difference is he has swapped out the stock Fulcrum Racing 77 DB wheelset
For dt swiss e1800 spline endurance wheelset, link below

https://www.dtswiss.com/en/wheels/wheel ... 800-spline

He is asking for £2100. What do people think? Is this good value. Should I go ahead the purchase?

Thanks
Martin

I presume you've verified the ownership of the bike, other than that, I'd merely do a web search to verify the brand new cost of the bike. If the bikes only done 200km and is hugely cheaper than the true purchase price of a new bike, relatively speaking it'd be "good value".

Though without getting too philosophical about, 98% of the tools performance is more about the individual performing in any discipline.

Since it has done such a low mileage doesn't he have the original receipt?
