Road bike

[Jvilla58]

Looking to buy a road bike. I know craigslist has a lot but want to see if anyone here has one that they no longer use. No fixies please. Thank you.

You would have a better selection on Craigslist

I got a new road bike a while back so not riding my old one.

Fuji CCR carbon frame size 55 (compact geometry)
Shimano drivetrain
105 5600 STI brifters
105 5700 brakes
Ultegra 6600 rear derailleur
Ultegra 6700 front derailleur
105 5600 crankset
Ultegra 6700 chain
Jagwire road pro cables (very little use on this as I had them installed brand new 6 mos before I bought new bike)

Fizik Arione saddle

Deda cockpit
100mm stem
44cm RHM01 handlebars
Zero setback seatpost
Also have a standard 25mm setback seapost

Alex DC19 wheelset with Continental GP4000S wheels (very low miles on them)

If you are interested I can take some pics and post them. And just because it's so sexy here's my EVO that replaced the Fuji

some friendly advice... i wouldn't buy anything within that price range... there's a mountain of difference between a 500 dollar bike, and a 1,000 dollar bike... there's only small amount of difference between a 1,000 dollar bike, and a 2,000 dollar bike...

you're not going to get anything "good" at that price honestly... widen your budget... try to pick up something with at least shimano 105 shifters and derailers...

i started with a cheap road bike, to eventually upgrade twice in the same season... i should've just saved the money and gotten something not high end, but worth the money i wasted...

the same goes for everything else... you get what you pay for...

I'm an avid cyclist... before you want to spend any dollar amount, ask yourself "how much are you going to devote yourself riding" You could buy 7K bikes and find out later cycling isn't you then you stuck with expensive bike. get something crappy bike and follow few cyclist around the city or join the club and see if you like cycling. after you know you're for sure going to ride few times a week then go buy at least 4K bike.. then you dont have to worry about upgrading for few years... I said again AT LEAST 4K... if you can get more out of your pocket then higher end bike is better....

that's cool if you know you're going to join a crit... i wouldn't advise a beginner to spend that much cash... a G will at least get him something that is built better than any department store bike... under that, you aren't going to get anything good...
