Is a clean bike REALLY a faster bike?

[zoom-zoom]

Seriously. I don't mind a little dirt on the cassette (although it would be nice if they'd cleaned it first...), but that is way too much money to ask for for a used bike with what's on it.

I think they would be LUCKY to get $500, given the condition.

I agree. I sold my 2010 Spec Dolce Sport with sora/tiagra double for $500 this summer. It was spotless. I even had a couple of people lined up to see it but it sold before they could come by. I was lucky because the woman fell in love with it, just gushed and paid my asking price. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm thinking $1000 is what it went for new!!!
