GURU---Is this a good deal?
One of the guys in my club is selling a Guru Sidero. This is a steel frame that he claims weighs 17-19 lbs with the following:
Components are SRAM Rival.
Wheels: Ksyrium Elite
Tires: Michelin Pro3 Race
Seatposrt: Zipp aluminum
Crank: FSA Gossamer
Bars: Ritchey
Stem: 3T ARX (we can swap the stem if you need a shorter/longer one.)
He says the bike has been ridden twice and he will sell it to me for $1200. He also provided me with a geometry chart and the thing is pretty close to perfect for me based on my recent fitting. Probably going to go ride it this week. Just looking for feedback/advice. TIA.

Guru is supposed to be pretty good stuff, I've read posts by some members with one and they all love them. At that price if it fits and with those components you aren't throwing away money, IMHO. Any pics for us to ogle and drool over?

The price point seems good - I'd go for it if the road test is favorable and the drive train has the right ratios for you.

Here it is. I have no idea about crank arm length or ring ratios. Waiting to hear back from him.
