    Just wondering if anyone has one and what their opinion on it is.

    Looking to upgrade from a hybrid and a mate of a mate is selling a 3 month old one he got on the B2W to upgrade to a Tri bike.

    Haven't seen the bike yet but it's a 56cm frame and I'm about 5' 11" so I think it might be a good fit. He's looking for about €850 for it. Is that a reasonable price for it? I've seen it online for £999 new.

    It's a lovely bike and Kuoto's have a very good reputation.
    I think €850 is a bit steep though. IMO €750 would be more like it.

    Cheers thanks.

    Hopefully I'll get a look at it some evening this week and see how flexible he is on the price.

    I don't know the bike..........are you bothered that he got it on the B2W scheme and probably paid in the region of €600 for it?
    Perhaps you can get him to show you the receipt and 'negotiate' a better price. If he got money back (ie you pay €600) you both get a win!

    The lite is the Kuota alu framed bike, I have never seen one but I agree with the Blaaman, if he doesnt drop the price you may as well buy a new one for yourself, the few extra quid means you have yourself a new bike and if he bought it through the btw he got a good discount.....

    I dont have a Korsa. I have the carbin fibre Juota. I am not sure if it applies to all Kuota's, but the one I have is stiff. Sometimes this is great. There are times though that it is pretty uncomfortable - just no give in the frame.
