The SLC-SL was Cervelo’s high-end aero bike 20 years ago. It has a bit of “modern classic” cred. The 404s are a good get *IF* (and that is a very big if) the hubs and brake tracks are in good condition. They look like clinchers to me given the tires. There were some hub recalls 15 years ago that these wheels might have been subjected to. Do some research…
Bar tape is garbage, looks like 2nd gen 10 speed STIs, DA7800 crank, unsure of the brakes (could be something exotic like eeBrake, or something risky like AliExpress. Cable runs are also a little messy. I’m trying to judge how this bike was maintained/cared for.
But no, I think $1500 is a little steep unless you “need” that SLC-SL, especially given you may need to replace components depending on the state of wear/maintenance…
