No picture of the drivetrain? It’s a 20 year old rim brake, aluminum frame speed-oriented road bike. It’s not really fashionable at the moment, and there is a lot out there. In my market, depending on condition and drivetrain, you can get this for 200 pretty easy. This doesn’t look particularly well maintained, and still has a 20 year old dork disc on it, which makes me think you are buying a beater with some serious deferred maintenance. I’d probably put the value at 150-250 depending on drivetrain and your local market.
No, looks ina good state but quite and old bike.
Old allez are cool but maybe 150 max. Also that a huge bike. I hope your over 6 foot.
I agree with the other commenter of about $150 to $250 depending on market and components. For context, I recently spent about $350 for a 2002 Trek with rim brakes etc., but it came with top of the line parts (older Ultegra/Dura Ace components) and had clearly been very well cared for. Even then, it still felt like I was overpaying a bit.
It’s worth it. Appears to be in good condition. I would still try to get it for $200 if I can.
No???
But, if you were to try and buy any of those components separately…it would be.
So…yeah
I paid 200 bucks for a 2016 Allez E5. Great bike but this is definitely worth maybe 100 bucks.
That’s a bike for a tall person. Over 6 ft.
Depends on where you are. Around here, any name brand road bike from the 21st century is $300.
the bottle cage bosses on the frame look sus
