Found this baby on Craigslist, and even though I know VERY little about it, bought it. Rides like a champ with some good components too. Just wanting some feedback on my purchase because I feel as though I got a STEAL, but may be wrong. The guy said that it was custom ordered by Gran Fondo Bike Shop in Nashville TN to see exactly how light they could get a steel road bike.

From what I can find online (which is very little.) It is a 2005 Orbea Spirt with a steel and carbon frame.
Campy Veloce Shifters, rear derailleur, cassette, and brakes
Campy Mirage front derailleur
Campy Khamsin G3 wheels with Michelin Pro Race tires
FSA Carbon seatpost
Selle Italia SLK saddle
LOOK Keo pedals
Deda Magic Stem
Zeus FCM Carbon fork
Sigma computer

Everything is in very good condition with only one ding in the frame on the top tube! I paid $500 and the guy threw in a saddle bag, air pump, giro helmet, and bike shorts/shirt. Thoughts? I feel as though it was a steal, but like I said I can't find anything about the bike and this is my first road bike..

    If you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Unlikely to have been a 'light build' as the spec is fairly low level.

    Very true. I'm genuinely curious about the bike though, any idea on an msrp? Or even a used price? I haven't been able to find much.

    A 10 year old bike will not have a used guide price. It will sell for whatever someone wants to pay for it. If you paid $500 for it, then that's what it is worth.
