Subject: 09 felt b12- is it a good buy?? Hey everyone!
I am doing my first tri August 31 and I currently have an old (2000-2001- not sure exact year ) diamondback interval elite with XRP stylist wheels. I've been told the wheels aren't great and that my frame is heavy but it's the first road bike I ever got so I still love it! But of course I have been scouring the internet to find a deal on a nice upgrade! This is what I found and I want to know if it is a good deal:
2009 Felt B12 for $600.
It says it has only been ridden 3 times (who knows if that is true ) and the pictures of it, the bike looks flawless. It seems to be all stock but in very good condition. I've been reading forums and the blue book value on the bike and in 'fair' condition on blue book it is still listed at almost $800 and this one is described as almost brand new. I've been told not to get a tri bike until I do my first and make sure I like it, but I also just want to upgrade my current bike to something nicer, faster, lighter, etc.
From what I have seen, this seems like a great deal but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything... Being a rookie of course! Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing what you guys think! |
