I'm looking at a 2007 RM Element Team 19".

The bike has seen approximately 5 races and a total of 20 rides. Looks well maintained. Has been ridden by 2 time Cyclocross National Team member. Canadian Red white paint job. Full XTR with paddle shifters, hydraulic disc brakes and XTR wheels. Titanium Egg beater pedals and either Hutchinson Python or Maxxis Fly weight Tires.

The top tube is a little scratched.
The owner is asking $ 3200 Canadian .

I'm going from Titanium hard tail and I don't ride any stunts or jumps ever , but long climbs and serious cross country.

Anybody have any thoughts?

That's a good price for an ideal XC race capable bike. As long as one of the 5 races wasn't LaRuta... that tends to be hard on things.

element is a good thing!

Element is a great bike to transition into from a hardtail. It's one of the better handling and supremely efficient XC bikes on the circuit. It's not the lightest bike compared to others but it's so efficient and quick that will never be an issue.
