LeMond Tourmalet Road Bike - $295

Hey guys, first time buyer here. I don't know much at all about bikes so I figured it would be best to ask for some guidance before committing. This LeMond just popped up on my local Craigslist and from what I can gather it is a solid bike: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/bik/5705691271.html

However, I don't know what a good price would be. I was thinking about asking $250 for it but I'm going in blind so if you guys could help me out that would be awesome.

I have the same bike and really like it. It's a mid-level bike that rides well. I use my often for running errands and going to the beach, etc. - things I don't want to use a nicer vintage bike for. If it's your size, is in good condition (it appears to be, but check that it shifts through all the gears, brakes well, etc.), and you like riding it, then around $250 is a good price.

Lemond brand + RSX triple brifters = $300. I don't see why the seller wouldn't just wait to get his price.

Go and see if it fits. Take the cash with you. Jump on and test ride. If it sings to you, go ahead and offer the $250, BUT be ready to pay the asking $300 if necessary. $300 for that bike in good rideable condition, in a frame size that fits is a good price.

A steel framed LeMond that looks like new, what's not to like! If shifters work worth all of $300!
I may be biased though!

I would also say the price is very good actually a little on the low side if everything works good. In most markets you not going to find any road bikes with a nice premium tubed frame and good working brifters for under $300 .
