Decent deal, but not amazing. I like that it already has had a bigger cassette / new derailleur installed.
I do hope that you are super tall because that’s one VERY large bike.

Price isn’t bad IF carbon is in good condition, and there’s a good reason why it has an xt rear derailure. I’m 99% sure that isn’t original and I would be concerned that it would shift well as I believe Shimano mtn and road have different shift ratios. I seem to remember that old 9spd derailure were compatible with newer 10 sp shifters but I could be wrong on that. It’s been too long and I’m too tired.

$350 is a good deal IMHO. This is I think a 2008 model, with a few tweaks (wider range cassette and MTB derailleur are not original, that’s a common setup to get granny gears before they became common it road bikes). Looks in good condition. If you’re a tall guy, this will be a good bike for you IMHO.
