LBS wants 499 for this bike refurbished. Do you think it's worth it? It is cool that it's the last model with an American made frameset but otherwise I wasn't sure.

Seems about what any shop would ask for. Shimano 105 5600/5700 groupset, cheaper FSA alloy cranks, cantilever brakes (looks like trp or avids). The shifters are older than the rest of the groupset, still 10 speed though. The housing is routed out of the shifters in front of the head tube. Later generations of shimano sti shifters had the housing running behind the shifter and tucked under the bars. Seatpost looks like a carbon-alloy bonded one. Fork should be alloy-carbon bonded as well with an alloy steerer and carbon fork legs. Not a bad deal, not a great deal. Decent tire clearance, probably 40mm max I’d say. Looks like some generic shimano alloy RS wheels, those are probably the weakest part of the bike component wise. Any room for haggling? It’s nice that it’s at least from a bike shop that definitely rebuilt it and inspected it.
