need advice on eBay bikes

Well, it seems nice enough bike for that price range. 105 is a good, entry
level group set and many riders never need anything better than that. I
don't know the scoop on the crankset so I can't comment on that (not a 105
crank).

It's hard to beat for under 700 bucks, but it's always better to buy at a
local shop if you aren't into the mechanical part of a bicycle.

It is surprising that the bike in the photo wasn't better set up for the
shot. The seatpost is awful high for anyone but Abraham Olanao and the seat
is not level. You think they could have bothered making it look better than
that :-)

The bike looks decent enough. My guess is that it's a reasonable deal
at a selling price of $750 or less. The seller appears to have a great
positive rating. I'm not impressed by the Cyclone cranks though.
Don't get carried away, because Bikesdirect.com sells the bike for
$795.
