Bikes and components are getting cheaper and cheaper.
I ride this 1999 Litespeed with new SRAM Force 22 and Shimano composite wheels.
I rebuilt it 2 or 3 years ago - re-investing in it rather than buying something else because the frame fits me so nicely and it really will last forever.
Because of Chinese/Taiwanese mfg and economies of scale, the 2nd hand bike market is dirt cheap. BUT, forget warranty on 2nd hand carbon frames or wheels. I wouldn't touch them.
You pays the price, and you takes your risks!
