Hi,
How much would you value the following bike at? 7005 Aluminium Barracuda Azzurri equipped with Shimano Sora with Flight Deck controls, 16 gears. It looks in good condition and has only been used for 300 miles. In case you hadn't guessed I am new to road bikes and do not want to be short changed. Also do you recommend this as a good bike to get started with? TIA, Steven |

Also do you recommend this as a good bike to get started with? a) Does it fit you? if not, forget it. b) Try offering £200-£250. The equivalent Dawes is £400 new, and road bikes depreciate *nearly* as fast as French executive cars. c) The more expensive bikes have 9 speed rear cassettes instead of 8, and the oily bits should last longer. Personally I'd have 105 as a minimum, but you're looking at quite a lot more money. There are some amazing bargains in the back of Cycling Plus though. |

That bike is £300 new, so £100 - £125? Also do you recommend this as a good bike to get started with? Why not? Sora's reliable if properly adjusted. |

Dunno whether I'd 'recommend' one, having never ridden one, but they look reasonable for the price .. -- Paul ... (8(|) ... Homer Rocks |
