I'd want to know more I mean "dura ace tiagra ultegra 18 speed gear system" what?!0

It's old. And looking at the gear it's in, and the position of the front qr makes me think the seller isn't much of a bike person. You could be looking at loads of worn out components.

ok thanks guys i will keep looking.

You can find much better bikes for less. Last year I put a 3 year old Dolan with full Chorus and Vento wheels on eBay with no reserve and it went for £280

I turned down cash offers of £500 saying that I wanted the auction to run its course. I was expecting it to go for around £1000. The guy who picked it up was grinning from ear to ear0

Unfortunately for every well looked after, decent bike on ebay, there are loads of worn out has-beens. People sell bikes when they become money pits, needing new transmissions / rims etc. It's not easy for people who are not sure what they are looking at.
At least with new bikes you know what you are getting. (IE sh1t wheels on the triban :-)0 -
as a person who knows nothing about road bikes i could fail on this very easily.0
