I want to buy this:

http://www.bcauction.ca/Pictures/6216766_Main.jpg

Has these specs:

Bicycle
Manufacturer: Argon

Model: Argon 18

21 inch frame; 20 speed
Carbon Fibre frame

Shimano 105 derailleurs
Shimano 105 brakes and shifters
Wheels - T DUE24S
Tires - 700 x 250 - both tires are flat
Handlebars - Road Racing 300 Super over ITM
Seat: Argon 18 gel

Dimensions: 66 inches long x 17 inches wide x 36 inches high

Weight: 20 lbs

I cant find the exact model...Argon 18 seems pretty generic model.

Im wondering if its worth ~$350. Looks like it needs new tires front and back and a good look over otherwise.

Can anyone speculate on an accurate price this is worth?

I'd offer them 200.00, tires are easy to fix, mec will give you some good pointers and help you out. Decent bike with basic components.

Argon18 is a decent brand, Canadian and out of Quebec I believe. They definitely give you decent bang for your buck, Speed Theory on 10th ave retails them they may have more info on this model.

Is that your size though? That's probably the most important thing to figure out...how tall are you and inseam? That'll help determine whether this bike will fit.

For a 105 grouppo it's a decent deal at $350 but you should be able to get it cheaper.
