Need advice re. buying bike
x-no-archive:yes
A guy wants to sell me his 10 - 15 year old Trek 1500 for $250. He says
the
derailleur needs adjusting and that it needs new tires. Other than that
and
a general tune-up, he says the bike is in good shape. Cosmetically at
least, that appears to my untrained eye to be true.
Assuming he's being honest, does that sound like a good buy?
This is my first time posting to this group, so I hope the content of the
post is appropriate.
Thanks.

How about asking him to let you have a bike mechanic look it over and then
take it to your local bike shop. People do that with cars all the time. If
he's being honest, he shouldn't object.
