Is this a good deal? should i buy?

[runner]

I can get the following bike for £530....what does the forum think? I already have a defy 1 which I commute daily on and am after a second one...the steel frame appeals? I am not very up on bike specs etc ...so any help or advice would be very welcome

52cm Wilson/Iceni frame-Reynolds 520 blue with white graphics
10 speed Campagnolo Veloce (Ultra Torque)
Campagnolo groupset
Mavic Open Sport rims shod with Hutchinson Quartz 700x23
Stronglight headset/3T stem/ ITM Super Europa bars/Deda tape
ITM forged Lite Luxe seatpost/Fokus saddle (carbon composite)

thanks

Sounds like a bargain - groupset and components wise (if they are lightly used). The frame will probably be comfy rather than fast if that is what you want.

Veloce is the bottom ranking groupset in the Campag line (but that is after they dropped the Mirage & Xenon lines).

I have used the Mirage groupset for years without problem.

The Ultra Torque system is very good if you feel confident in dealing with the odd problem yourself - I wouldn't recommend it to someone who relies on the LBS to do everything.
