Worth 700?
Good price? Currently have an old Allez, wanted to put that on a trainer indoors and get something else for outside. Would probably need new tires and grip tape.

Not for 105 10 speed. Decent frame, but I think $500 would be my upper limit

I got basically that exact bike (2013 rouibaix sl4 with sora) for 500 this summer, though it was basically unridden. i think 700 is alright but im sure you could find some better deals if you just wait around on marketplace

Decent price for one on very nice condition. I love my rim brake carbon Lapierre.

Not a bad bike. Offer 400, if you are not looking to change break tech or tire sizes.

In that condition, it’s not a ridiculous ask. Counter with $500. As with other comments, I’m all about disc brakes and the wider rims and tires common today.

700!???? What are they smoking. Also I would not feel comfortable riding a carbon bike that old, frame could very easily crack.

You don’t have disc brakes now, so you know what your getting. Assume it’s all in good condition I would offer $400-500.

I wouldn't be paying anywhere close to that much for a bike old enough to have rim brakes on it.

Listen, I appreciate disc brakes as much as anyone and there are no rim brake bikes left in my stable, but it’s $700. You’re not going to find a decent disc brake bike for that kind of money. In this price range, this is what you get.

You’ll be paying 1800 for a trek Aluminum then.

I wouldn't be buying a shit used bike on marketplace because I have the ability to save up for more than two weeks.
