Hello

Is there an oppotunity to have a trial/practice ride, if the bike spec ticks all YOUR boxes then I would suggest ride it then make your mind up.......sounds like a nice bike but I would say that riding a Cayo 07 myself

Size should be correct. I was on a 56 at 5 9 and found it a tad too big.

Price? I would say a bit too much but the wheels are certainly not bad. That said they have been massively reduced on something like Winstanleys.

Be cheeky and try to knock a bit off. They were £999 new, still are £999 new and it could be up to 18 months old now.

It seems expensive to me, however, bike seem to sell for silly money at this time of year! Do what the above poster said and make an offer, the worst they can say is no.. I would start at £550.

Yep. As a guide I just sold my Variado Expert. So that was £799 new. Upgraded to Ultegra crank, carbon seatpost, new stem and bars etc. £450. Just over 50% of cost. It was 16 months old

Sorry I typed Cayo and meant Variado!

I'd start at £550.
