Just got this brand new Aeroad CF SLX 8 Disc eTap off of facebook marketplace for $2.7K. The owner rode it less than 100 miles but messed up the front brake. I bled it yesterday, changed the bar tape and got a quick tune up for $85 total and it’s brand new now.

Was this a good deal? Are there any major differences between this bike and the CL SLX 8 that they sell now?

Also, an issue that I may have noticed is that the headset feels slightly loose (I know the previous owner tried adding spacers unsuccessfully). Anyone know how to fix that (does Canyon have a manual for that and if I have to replace any parts)? It’s very very minimal and don’t think it’ll really be an issue but don’t want to screw the bearings over time.
