otismcotis on November 29, 2025 7:09 pm Looks like a Marin Gestalt. Retails for $1000, and this appears to be in good shape. $500 seems fair
Encryption-error on November 29, 2025 7:10 pm I’d buy it if it was my size. For $500 you have a great base and all you need is pedals. Add- I don’t know a lot about that bike but if it gets you on the trails, it’s worth it.
DrakeAU on November 29, 2025 8:11 pm Since its 50% of the retail price new, IMO you should buy the new version. Probably better specs now, especially if you can wait for Cues.
Worldly_Possible2925 on November 29, 2025 8:45 pm That’s a great machine for a great price. Be sure of the fit, 52CM is a quite small bike. ✌🏻🙌🏻
earlstrong1717 on November 29, 2025 9:12 pm Yes good price. The 1 type of bike holding value these days are gravel bikes.

Just be sure the size is correct , a 52 is quite small
