This past weekend I was bidding on Ebay for a Legend with the exact same dimensions and color scheme as my naked Legend SE ST and it included an F3 fork identical to mine and Chris King headset. I quit bidding at a little over $1,300 and it went for only slightly more than that. It was in top notch condition.
There was only one other bidder and I guess I did not want it bad enough to bid higher. I was thinking that it would be nice to have a backup Legend exactly like my primary bike but decided that my cracked drive side dropout was probably or hopefully a one-time event. And at that Serotta had it back to me in less than 3 weeks so I quess I could make do for a few weeks with the steel Serotta Colorado that I purchased from a forum member to be used as a trainer/backup bike.
What does anybody think? Hint, make me feel better because I have mixed feelings about this. What happens if my bike gets stolen or other catastrophe? I really would not want to spend the full retail price to purchase a new one and would have to go with a lesser frame?
