I have the opportunity to buy a well kept 2005 Giant TCR limited with full Dura Ace Gruppo, 53x39 175mm cranks, 11x23 cassette, brand new ITM Visia 44cm bars and brand new 120mm stem. (these have never been used...not even once! Easton EC70 carbon seat post, Selle Italia Signo saddle (brand new again!) Ksyrium SL wheels 700c, brand new Continental tires.  Oh yeah, all this for $1500. What would you do?

it comes with a cassette player? bah...it should atleast have a cd player!
idk man...$1500 for a BICYCLE seems a bit much, unless you really do some crazy @$$ cycling.
I'd much rather pay some bills or buy something for the car.
1999 Silver Frost SVT
#609 of 2760
Quaife, lightened SVT Flywheel, SPEC stage II clutch, removed resonator, k&n drop in - various other goodies too.

I'd do it.
I actually am going to drop around 1k on a road bike soon... not sure what yet, but 25+ miles a day on a mountain bike with commuter slicks isn't the most fun.

Sounds like a decent enough deal. I'd hit it.

I would buy a Wal-Mart or K Mart bike and put the rest of the money in the bank.

Buy it. STAT!!!!
Wait...why so cheap? That's a $4,000+ bike. 
P.S. I ride a Giant TCR, and both of my brothers ride Giant TCR carbons. We love 'em! (I'll most likely be upgrading to carbon as soon as I get get outta grad school).
Edit: How tall are you? That looks like a large frame and it has 175mm cranks. Make sure it fits you before buying.

Well, some people consider other things more important than upgraded car parts. No harm in that, just different priorities.
