Ask the shop whether they will provide any warranty on the frame.

Cervelo warranties are original owner only (AFAIK).

Not so easy to comment on a bike unseen. What sort of wheels?
One of the major selling points of Cervelo is the lifetime warranty on the frame-thats for original owner only though so wouldn't apply here. You may already be aware of that.
Personally I would sell the Spesh privately and get a new bike for similar money.
This does not shout bargain to me.

thanks for the replys,i was hoping to hear bargain of the centuary ha ha.im not shure what wheels are on it either sorry.i have mavic equips on my spesh and i'ts not a bad little bike so going on what i've heard i think i'll hold on for a bit.A couple of my mates have upgraded their bikes one got a madone4.5 and the other got last years felt ar 4, i'd say thats the reason for the rush of blood to the head ha ha....cheers,fffp.
