    Nope. Never heard of it.

    I'd pay no more than 100 lids for that bike....Not a cent more. And that's assuming it's mint.

    hey Gil, thanks for the advice...the owner is a friend...hes the second owner, apparently the first guy bought it for about €500!! my buddy got it for abotu €250 i think.

    why would you value it so low? did they get badly ripped off at the above prices?

    Are shimano SIS gears not those ancient gears? maybe i'm wrong, i just remember them being on my bike when i was 10. Wasn't a very expensive bike back then either, so they're probably not great to say the least.

    iv never seen shimano sis gears on a road bike before only on mountain bikes.
    i doubt that bike cost €500 new TBH. you could get a giant ocr 4 for that and it would have the sti gear levers

    Cos it's a no-name brand that's clearly several years old (downtube levers, old skool rear mech). I think the all in one stem looks fairly dated too.

    Who knows the quality of the other components, or their age? Maybe with (lots) more in focus pictures it'd be possible to tell some more of the components, but I reckon 100e is on the mark.
