Relatively new to cycling, planning to get into a bit more this year (replacing some of the time I’d usually have spent running).
Currently doing ~100km a week (5x commute, 7km each way on bike-paths/roads plus one or two longer rides on the weekend) on a Cube MTB.
Considering upgrading to a faster bike and found someone in my neighbourhood selling this Simplon Lumen for 500€. Wondering if this is good deal?
from the ad:
“ridden it 4,000km on the road and 500km on a freewheel. With the exception of the still-good crank chainrings, I've replaced all wear parts (brake pads, tires, tubes, rim tape, outer and inner cables, handlebar tape, rubber grips, etc.) over the past few years. Everything is currently in (very) good, lightly ridden condition.
- Very light ASC-9 triple buttet aluminum frame
- Fork, seat, and chainstays are made of carbon
- Carbon seatpost
- Mavic Ksyrium wheelset
- Schwalbe One tires in 23mm (tube)
- Selle Italia SLR Superflow saddle (new 2023, <1000km)
- 2x Elite "Custom Race" bottle cages with titanium bolts
The bike is equipped with a complete Ultegra 6600 groupset (3×10):
– Crank FC6603 52x39x30
– Cassette CS6600 12-25
– Pedals PD 6610
– Brakes BR6600
– Brake pads R55C4 (new 2022, <1000 km)”
