I'd love your opinion - good price for a Terry Symmetry?

Enjoy your Terry!

I've got a Terry Despatch (the Symmetry replaced this line) that's about 20 years old and she's still handsome-looking. Would love to see pictures of your new-to-you-- and it sounds as though it was barely used-- bike.

Yes, pics please!

Aww, thanks ladies!! I'm excited. I took it out tonight for about 9 miles. Other than the seat being uncomfortable (I don't have cycling shorts - yet), it was a pretty nice ride. I think I've just started a new love affair with cycling!

Here is the pic from the ad - I'll try to get a better pic later. It really does look brand new!

Beautiful bike. Good luck in your triathlon!

Is that a quill stem?

I don't even know how to tell - I am such a noob!!

Yes, its a quill stem. From the color I would guess its a 2001, which retailed at the time for $1150. The cheapest terry road bike you can buy today new costs more than $2000 so you did good. If you feel too bunched up, you can replace the stem with a nitto technomic, which comes in 1 cm increments. She is very pretty. I nearly bought that bike the year I bought my first classic. I remember how great she felt when I got on her compared to the guys bikes I'd had before. But I got in my head I wanted a touring bike, before realizing that you can also tour easily on the symetry/isis family, as long as you can carry what you need on a rear rack and run 28mm tires.
