Posts: 3	Help with buying a used savage 02/24/11 at 00:38:18 I am currently looking for my first road bike, and I really am leaning towards the savage. Here is a CL listing I have been looking at. Does anyone have any feedback on this bike. Anything specific I should be paying attention to? Thanks! http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/mcy/2219966177.html

I would be looking at a kelly blue book price for your market. This looks a little high IMHO. JB

I bought a 2005 with 4300 on it for $1,900. Like the other guys say it will need a cam chain around 15-20K miles... Darren IN-S40

I got an '02 and it's black. $700 could be the cam chain work, it would be good to look over what was done. seat cover will set you back $100 otherwise $1800 is a bit high especial knee high in snow.

Not that it couldn't be repaired. I just would prefer to know.
