Looks like it doesn't come with the wheels pictured. Would this be a good endurance bike for someone that is 6'2"-230lbs? Currently ride specialized XL turbo tero X.

Definitely over
Hopefully you’re a couple inches shorter than the current owner.
Usually, I would say yes, this is overpriced. But, I’m seeing S-Works of this era changing hands for about this much local to me. Price is honestly probably about what this is going to sell for.
Also, this is like a fucking $500 handlebar and *highly* rated. I thinks its ugly as sin, but people seem to really love it. Also also, it’s really nice this guy is willing to let you swap saddles.
This feels like a good buy, and a good person to buy a bike from. I’m not mad at the price. I think you can buy this with confidence, and the price isn’t bad at all.
NOTE: This stack height exceeds what is rated for that frame/fork by about 40mm. The *maximum* spacer stack allowed under this stem (Specialized talking here) is 35mm, and the setup also *requires* 5mm above the stem. So, this bike isn’t built correctly, and *could* be damaged. Though, 500 miles probably isn’t enough to do it.
If you buy this, you needs to fix this. This is a super weenie bike, there isn’t a lot of material. Proper build and handling is more important on this bike than most others.
