joepublicschmoe on February 26, 2025 5:46 am 12-year-old aluminum rim-brake bike with 10-speed 5700-generation 105, which has a reputation for finicky shifting. https://99spokes.com/bikes/felt/2013/z85 For a bike of that age, I think $350 is a fairer value. If you want 10-speed, bikes equipped with the newer Tiagra 4700 groupset actually shifts much better than 5700 105 because Tiagra 4700 uses the longer shift cable pull introduced with 11-speed.
