    Is this good bike and good deal?


    I am looking into purchasing a bike and have been looking around Facebook Marketplace and stumbled upon this bike. I don’t know really much about road bikes. I was wondering if this is a good bike for a beginner? The seller has it listed for $1000 (it was cut down from $1200), is that a good deal? I don’t know what year the bike is nor what to ask him about the bike. Any advice helps.

      Rim brake frame with 105 and rim brakes. Its a good bike but you shouldn’t pay more than ~$350 usd for it.

      Also, if the first picture is of the NDS then the seller likely doesn’t know much about bikes and is selling it based on a number some website told them. It will probably be difficult to convince them to sell this bike for what it is actually worth.

      Don’t know what model that is, but I have 2013 BMC Gran Fondo with 105 and I paid $1200 new.

      It’s a good bike, not a good deal, as others had said it’s price should a lot less (depends of the country)

      1000 is too much, but the comments saying 350 are absurdly low – yes it’s a rim brake groupset, but still a nice bike with a power meter on it.

      6-700 is probably fair.

      Damn that’s clean. I despe wanted this when it came out

      Sad thing is, it’s old kit.

      For reference I just sold a full carbon, carbon wheel dura ace bike for 650

      This is a 500 bike.

      It’s not modern, it’s not desirable and it wasn’t top spec on release

      1000$ is still a bit high. It has a carbon (the lowest grade BMC offered tho) frame and a powermeter, based on this single photo the bike looks in really good condition. Imo a really nice bike to get into cycling. Worth 550-700$ depending where you live

      It’s a slr03 ONE from 2018 if you want to get more infos on the bike

      It yours all opinion, if you were looking into getting a bike for the first time, would you buy if the seller would go down to $500 or would you pass and look for something more modern?
