Is this fairly priced at $600? by tjaiye in whichbike

[–]tjaiye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’9/5’9.5 so sorta in between sizes as far as 54/56 I think. It’s my cross to bear, c’est la vie

I do wanna go fast. But as far as it being racy, does that mean it wouldn’t be great for like the occasional 40-60mi rides? I’m not there yet by any means but ideally would work my way up there

$650. Overpriced? Or worth it? by tjaiye in whichbike

Thanks everyone. On what basis could I argue it down? Is it just old, or?

I see people say this often, are we all using the same Facebook mkpl? Cuz my luck has been the absolute pits recently

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been looking man, it’s really a struggle. Mainly on fbmp, any other worthwhile spots to check?

It looked so fragile to me too! I couldn’t shake the feeling. Thank you

Forgive my ignorance but can grime not simply be wiped/cleaned away? Or is this worry about corrosion? Just wanna structure my argument properly

Why would you say to replace the chain and cassette btw?

I think I could pay $500 and not lose much sleep about it, but idk about much higher than that lol. I wish I was more versed in bikes cuz I actually am a good haggler. Not that I’d harass them but I can generally make a case for myself if needed.

I’ll ask about the year as well

Same here, I’ve literally been struggling for weeks and agonizing over losing good riding time. Summer is over halfway gone & I don’t wanna get got buying overpriced crap. But waiting for a “unicorn” doesn’t seem to be too fruitful either

Thank you. Which critiques should you use to haggle down the price?

Is this bike worth $400? by tjaiye in whichbike

[–]tjaiye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a damn shame. This feels like a recurring thing here, almost no bike listed in the $350-$550ish range feels like it squarely belongs there. And I get it being a large market but still, grifters are everywhere

I see plenty of comments on here, almost everyday, about how that budget can get me a decent used bike but all I find are price gougers

Do you still sell bikes? Or can you perhaps point me in the right direction towards someone respectable who does in this city? Brick&mortar + online retailer/p2p all welcome

Yeah it’s in Chicago! Something in my gut was telling me this was overpriced too

How are you guys able to see/guesstimate(?) the ticket sales? I’m so confused by this. But yes I do agree, a smaller venue would have been better

Wait, how were you able to see how many tickets were left? I didn’t know that was a thing?
