Does this seem like a good deal..?

[Monsieur Remings]

Here is a listing I've found, 9 months old, used in all weather conditions, minus wheels and pedals. The seller wants around £750, what do you think....

Ribble Stealth Carbon (R872)

• Asymmetric 1-1/8" top 1-1/2" bottom head tube for extra front-end stiffness
• Internal brake routing.
• Superior frame-to-weight ratio STW 105.

• SRAM Force groupset through-out.
• 175mm SRAM Force carbon cranks.
• Deda Magic Stem 130 mm.
• Deda Magic Stick carbon seat post.
• Ritchey Pro Logic II Handlebars 42 cm width (centre to centre).
• San Marco Concor Saddle (White).
• Supplied with brand new deda white bar tape (won't actually put it on so you can set the brake hoods to suit you first).

What do you think, a bargain or not?

Providing all is sound [no crashes] then I would say yes, put some good wheels on it and you have a very nice bike for around £1100 that would normally cost £1700 - £1800.

He swears it's not been crashed...and is replacing it because he has a team bike on the way which does sound promising. Have asked for some close up photos of the groupset as this will be the determining factor. Guess there's no way of knowing whether it was crashed though.

I can't comment on the value but that looks fantastic!

If it was me I would buy it, the only thing I would do though is, if possible, go and see it to get it. I would budget about £50 max for any journey to pick it up, just peace of mind really which I guess is what we all need when spending large sums.
