Please help - 'brand new' 7 year old Trek - Would ya?

[V8Wagon]

I'm after a run around for the missus and have been offered a 2005 TREK 3500 for £120.



What perils are there in buying a 'brand new' bike that's never been ridden but that's been standing for seven years?

Would you at £120?

Depends where it's been stored I suppose.

If it's been in a dry shed/garage, then it should be a case of pump up the tyres, quick squirt of WD40 on the chain and away you go.

Yeah, no problem. Unless it had rusted.
