Hey guys, hope you don’t mind a question about a second hand bike purchase - find it really hard to work out value for old bikes.

Looking at buying the below bike for $450. The bike will be used purely for Zwift as I’ve recently bought a Trek Emonda SL7 and the removing of the rear wheel over and over is giving me heart palpitations.

Personally I think it's a shade expensive (I normally don't place any value on "accessories" 'cos they're used etc), but if it's in good condition and the extra bits are of use to you then it's a good deal.

Alternatively, sell off the bits you don't need for maybe $100 all up and subsidize the Orbea deal accordingly.

Thankyou… yeah no need for the accessories so like the idea of selling them off.

Appreciate the response

If it's of any relevance, every Orbea frame I've worked on has been a good quality unit. Have only worked on a handful though, so ..

There is an issue though. The seller claims the bike is a Shimano 105 10s, but the shift levers don't look right.

Yeah something doesn’t add up with the specs and model year. I’m gonna hold off and continue looking. Really appreciate your help and advice. Thankyou

Maybe the frame is 2014 but the rest certainly isnt. I had one of these in white/red and it came with 5700 and it would of been around 2012 model. Stock wheels back then were Mavic Aksium. I still have the frame, turned it into a pub bike with a flat bar and the groupo is now on a CX bike. All is still running fine. The bike in the pic is worth $150 max.

Likely 4600-series Tiagra levers, which despite groupset ranking are superior to the contemporary 5700 105 units.

I can't see an inner shift lever, so the shifters are more likely Sora than Tiagra.
