Hello all! I'm in the market for a new bike. I haven't rode on a bike in probably over 12 years or so which is why I'm here looking for help. My goal is to lose weight while having fun so my choice is to start cycling. I found this near me on the Facebook Marketplace. Anybody have any insight on if this is a good deal or not? Any insight is appreciated!

$190 for a full carbon 105 bike screams “stolen” or “scam” but idk
If it fits, there are no cracks in the frame and all the mechanical elements are working – it’s a fair price. You’ll want to get it looked over at your local bike shop and plan on spending 100-200 on repairs.
I bet if you try to buy it you’ll get a response like “Someone else wants to buy it but if you e-transfer the money to me now I’ll sell it to you instead.”
If the price is too good to be true it’s probably a scam.
That seems too good to be true
$190? buyer beware.
Ask for a pic of the s/n.
that bike is worth closer to $1000
“20-disc bike” lol. 20 disc brakes, for ultimate stopping power!
It’s too cheap. Something’s wrong.
Maybe if it was 500 I could see it being legit. But otherwise, it’s stolen or a scam.
Scam
