2857.0. "Trek Question" by PCBUOA::LBASSETT (Design) Wed Sep 21 1994 13:24

    Would someone please give me some advice on a Trek 370 (or give me a
    pointer..)  I'm thinking about buying one, I'm told was one only ridden 
    once.  What is fair price this bike?
    
    Thanks!

         Depends on what components it has.  Get the component set along 
    with things such as the type of wheels and whether it has clipless
    pedals.  Get brandnames and models on everything then go to several
    bike shops and see what similar setups cost, this should give you a
    good starting price in negotiations.  
         I met a guy several years ago who tried to sell his bike after
    only one ride, the bike was jazzed out with everything.  It turned
    out that the guy had mixed it up with a group of hardmen during a 
    ride, when he got back to the finish he pitched the bike to the
    ground and offered it for sale.  Check your potential bike for
    scratches.
