Never run into this issue but is it fairly easy to bend seat rails??

Just noticed the other day that my seat is leaning to one side...

It depends on the seat, some cheaper seats are easy to bend. I smashed the rails on my Paragon when I wrecked right before finals this year (that was when I broke my wrist) so its not that uncommon. On higher end seats you are going to get much tougher rails so its much less common.

Been looking on craigslist like a volture for my first road bike and waiting patiently. I've seen few ones that I really like, but people just dont reply back. I'm assuming they are sold quickly.

I finally got a reply from someone selling 2005 Specialized Allez Comp Triple for $750. After few emails, he's willing to let it go for $650, but the thing is a same exact bike was sold a day before for $500.

It's got a really nice components in there, but I just dont know if it's still worth $650

opinions?

If it is in good shape I would say that is a great price. Looks like the majority of it's components are Ultegra which is probably 900 or so brand new. Is the bike the right size for you? I would first check that, and maybe ask to see the bike in person and go for a short spin.To many times I see customers come into our shop with great bikes that don't fit them.
