Cannondale CAAD5 R500 (2005) $600- worth the price?
Hope I'm posting in the right place this time. Hi and appreciate your opinion since I'm no bike expert by any means. I can purchase this bike for $600 and wondering if that fee is fair. This is the description:

Wheel size 700c

If it’s the right fit and it makes you happy, the price was right.

I guess it depends on the local market but I wouldn't pay that much for a fifteen year old bike with low end components. Is 60 cm your size?
