I'm loving the look of this bike.

Not sure of age but it does look relatively new. Apparently it's Tiagra equipped too.

Trek 1.5 Alpha. So what's the verdict people? Asking price of £550.

    £450 would be about right for the Trek 1.5

    £550 is too much in my opinion.

    I've got one of these as my winter bike (mine's a 2010 model I think), and it's a pretty decent bit of kit. I bought it as my first proper road bike, and liked it a lot. It's not flash, but it's a good reliable ride. Tiagra works fine (although this appears to have Ultegra cranks?), standard wheels are a bit basic, but it looks like these have been replaced with some Shimano ones. All round, it's a decent bike. Agree with the OP that £450 would be a more realistic price.
