Sorry been on this sub a lot with bikes and I still haven’t gotten one yet. Want to get into cycling but I don’t know where to really start. This one is a size XL which is what I need (6 foot 5). He’s asking 400 for it. Not sure if that’s a good deal or not. Also I am just looking to lose weight. Nothing too crazy. What do you think?

Nice bike
If I had to guess that bike was probably close to $800 or more new. It appears to be minimally used and in really good shape. I’d say $400 is a great price and totally worth it to be healthier and lose weight
$400 isn’t really a bad price on this bike. Maybe shoot an offer for $350 since it’s the off season in most parts of the country?
If you’re hefty or plan on jumping at all I’d plan on doing a better bottom bracket / crankset. My 120 pound wife snapped the same bb when she started getting more into the sport. That said a decent external bb with crankset can be had for $50 – $60 bucks either going no name or used.
You’re probably an xxl, unless you have extremely short legs. xl is for people 6’0 to 6’3. you will likely need to make adjustments later. not stopping from buying, just letting you know
Alright everyone thanks for the input! Hopefully he answers soon. Seems like a solid deal.
I looked at this for 5 minutes trying to figure out what discount I’d ask for for the rattle can gold paint on the seat post
We agreed to 375. Hopefully I like it! Looks like a solid bike. Thanks everyone for the input
