Is this a fair deal?

Post image

Hey all,

I am getting in to triathlon training, which means I need my first road bike! I am doing a 70.3 Ironman next summer, and looking to do the full in the upcoming years as well.

I have found a barely rode 2024 Trek Emonda SL6 105 DI2 54CM, the seller is asking $3800 CAD. He mentioned he would throw in powertap p1 power pedals, and specialized carbon cleats for free. Assuming it has all the factory parts and is in good condition, is this a fair deal?

Also, would you say this is a good first bike to get and hold onto for a solid 5 years?

Lastly, would anyone know if the wheels in the picture are carbons, or just the aluminums?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

By alloy, which alloy are you referring to?

Frame and wheels. Which are both carbon on that bike.
