Hi, there! I'm looking for a commuter bike and found this. The seller is asking for $600 and says it's only been lightly used since 2017. I just wanted to know from people more experienced with bikes if it was accurately priced. Thank you!

Touring bikes are my favorite project bike platforms. Very versatile, and have lots of mounting points for racks and baskets and stuff. That said, this is a Tiagra-level bike with rim brakes and isn’t anything exotic. $300-400 would be my max if it needs nothing.
Perfect commuter bike

I have one (a 2012) and absolutely love it, and it’s an excellent commuter. But does seem rather overpriced for it’s specs, albeit not necessarily overpriced compared to the market for this specific model and brand based on a cursory online searchs.
Great commuter. Could last you the rest of your life if you take care of it.
