Hi all,
Looking to get back into cycling – have been out of the game about 5-10 years or so.
Was looking at a brand new Trek Domane AL2 Rim for £600-£650 but then thought I’d have a look on eBay.
Came across this – https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405438581081
Appreciate it is an AL3 Disc but appears to be this, retailing at approx £850 brand new – https://www.ampedcycles.co.uk/shop/bikes/sub/road/trek-2022-domane-al-3-gen-3-52458/option/
Bearing in mind I’d have to purchase all the bells and whistles if I were to buy a new road bike and their associated costs, wondered if anyone would be able to give a quick opinion on the ebay listing above?
Also aware it says it’s only been used once/twice – not too bothered about a few scratches here and there if that isn’t quite the case, but don’t want to be paying over the odds.

an AL3 disc should be a nicer bike than the AL2 rim brake. Theres a large difference in rim brakes and disc brakes in the size of tires they can fit. Rim brakes can usually only fit 25 of max 28mm tires where as these disc brake bikes can fit modern 30 and 32mm tires. As well as having better breaking preformance and more durability of course. AL3 should be a nice bike for years to come. I would put in an (low) offer and see if you can make a deal on the ebay bike.
