Hi experts...
I'm considering buying this bike used from an individual in my city:
SUPERSIX EVO 2 RED
2 questions:
1. Which model year of SRAM Red do you think this is? 2011? I've read that 2011 SRAM Red has a crummy FD and a noisy cassette, both of which were greatly improved in the 2012 model year. If this bike has 2011 Red, that makes it less valuable to me. Is it possible to replace the FD and cassette with newer model years and effectively make SRAM Red 2011 into something better? Would that be expensive?
2. The bike has only 500mi on it and is all stock except that the wheels are upgraded to Roval Rapide carbon clinchers that the owner is including. Not sure which ones. He's also including 2 carbon bottle cages and some Look pedals. Asking price is $2600 for the whole package. Seems like a square deal for this hi-mod frame and Rapide wheels. Agree?
Thanks for opinions!
Colin
