Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

2009 Giant 3 Avail

I've found a 2009 Giant 3 Avail on Craigslist. Claims to be well maintained, as the woman's husband is a cycling enthusiast and bike mechanic. Low mileage, I believe. I offered $300 and she countered with $400. Is this a good deal? Is this a good entry-level road bike? Any important questions I should ask when test riding?

Thanks for your help!

Ya, that is a decent price if the bike is in good shape. Yes, it is a good entry level bike. Be sure to inspect the frame closely... and make sure it fits.
