averagebiker

Hi...have the opportunity of buying the above bike for 350/400..apparently in vgc..I just wondered whthr this would be considered to be a good buy, if the bike is as said.

Its been upgraded to 27 gears.

Many thanks

It was always a 9 speed bike (I gess you mean it now has a 3 ring chainset) - are you sure it is a 2007, and this is the sort of bike you need?

Before you buy,compare the spec to something like this which can be bought new for similar money:http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=product&productId=1380&categoryId=129

Or this:http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/?fn=product&productId=1109&categoryId=129

Damn right they don't.

To answer your question....it looks a bloody good deal to me, as long as there's nothing major wrong with it.

I'm almost tempted to say pass him my way if you don't buy it!

I would echo SS's comment though. Make sure it's not more bike than you need. No point hauling around a whole hunk of extra weight.
