hi there. Im a newbie to road bike and considering to get a new frame. The local bike shop offered me a Specialized sequoia elite frame at USD $250. im not sure whether this is considered cheap at other foreign country, but here in malaysia, i reckoned that it would be affordable. Do u guys think that sequia elite is a nice frame for beginner? or should i save my money to get a better one? maybe dolce or roubaix? any comments are highly appreciated. thanks again.

Sounds like a pretty good price to me (my commute bike is a Sequoia Expert) for a new frame. Or is it new? Fork included?

yeah..it's a new piece with fork included. btw, it's 2003 model, which suits me coz i like the brushed steel color. The bikeshop wanta clear the old stock, so they sell it at $250. :p

Heck, I'd buy it, if it was the right size!
