Hi all,

I'm new here so go easy. I'm looking to get into cycling and am possibly going to buy this bike (not for the price listed in the ad). Problem is that I can't find ANY information on this bike online. Aside from the shimano parts I have no idea of the quality of this bike. I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me any advice on the quality of this bike, what year it's from, what it's worth, etc.

Thanks a lot,
Hopefully I'll be sticking around this forum as I get into cycling, with this bike or another.

    Raceline is a division of Apollo bicycle company, apparently the frames are off-the-shelf Taiwanese items.

    From what I have gathered from a quick Go-ogle, they're decent enough bikes, despite being considered a more lowly brand.

    I haven't come across anything referring to Raceline bikes beyond 2006 though... and their website seems to have fallen out of use (http://www.racelinebikes.com/range.php).

    The 2006 Giro ALC was around $2700 when new.

    I would try and get more info from the seller.
