Entry Level is a tricky term. Columbus Thron Tubing and Campy Mirage. If you ask the wrong (snooty) person they may snoot all over this bike because it's made of the lower end editions of their respective hierarchies, but it's not always apples to apples and the quality should be evident when you ride. $350 is a pretty good entry level price for the more boutique end of the bike world. You could certainly find an equivalent frame set on older bike (Reynolds 531 I've read is lighter but stiffer, you're probably not getting a Columbus SL bike for this price though) at a lower price, however you're not going to get as new and/or nice componants. I find a lot of older bikes really charming, you may not. I'm not into the really racey aesthetic with fade paint schemes and your name all over everything. This is a great bike for a person with less sentiment than me who just wants to get out there and ride, quickly. Between the stem and the seat I suspect this maybe wasn't a great fit for this guy, who might've appreciated a more touring styled frame better. Buy it short people, and if you can make an offer even better for you.
