I'm looking at upgrading my current bike. Current bike is sentimental, but it's an old specialized carbon epic pro ('94?). I used to run alot but got into cycling as some cross training and I do most of my rides on a Zwift Cog so it hasn't bothered me, but would like a new bike to get out more. Found this bike on FB market place for $850. Wondering if this is a good price for this bike.
Bike Specs:
- Giant Advanced Carbon Frame (Medium Size)
- Shimano Tiagra
- Giant Aero Wheels
I'm 5'-8" so right in between the sizing of S and M for Giant. I know everyone recommends Shimano 105's, but I live in Florida and don't plan on doing any serious racing in the future so I don't see an issue with the the Tiagra. Looking for a good bike that I can do long rides on the weekend and possibility dabble in some small tri's in the future. I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.

Frame looks good. Wheels are good.
Tiagra will work fine for you.. that said, I’d try to get it for 500.
Great frame, but $850 is a bit high for the spec. I agree with the other poster. Ask closer to $500
Thanks yall. Appreciate the feedback!
