Go Sport spego 130 - anyone familiar?

Kildafornia

Anybody familiar with the spego 130? I don't think it's available in Ireland. I've been offered a 2006 spego for €500, so just deciding whether to go for it , or drop a few hundred more along with ride to work and get something with a 105 groupset. Any thoughts? (should mention it would br for mostly training use, some weekend rides and the odd tri)

Here's the spec of the spego to compare:
• Frame: alu7005
• Forks: COLUMBUS - CARBONE TUSK
• Group: campagnolo mirage
• Rims: Mach1 RJ PROJECT *
• Tyres: Michelin - Dynamic 23-622 (700x23C
• Crank: Stronglight mygal - triple 52x42x30x170.*
• Cassette: micha 9 Speed - 13X26.*
• Pedals: COURSE ALU
• Seat: selle San marco*
• 9.9kilo

That's the brand from the French chain Go Sport. My first road bike was a 120. Not a bad bike but I wouldn't pay anything like €500. (BTW Here's a good second hand website for bikes in France if you want a reference)

The new Spego 120 has a closer spec to that bike and can be bought new for €559

Thanks for the feedback diarmad, good idea to check current 2nd hand prices. But surely the new 130 is closer in spec to the old 130?

The newer 130 has a carbon frame and some 105 and decent wheels. The old 130 is nothing like the newer one.

OK thanks for the feedback guys I think I'll save for something new. Still a lovely bike I have to say
