A cincelli strati carbon frame for sale $1400 CAD.
The seller doesn’t know much about it but what I can see it has an Ultegra group set and upgraded wheels (ICAN F55).
I’m not that knowledgeable about bikes so any insight would help. Thanks!Â

I would personally pass, seems a bit pricey. Not the best wheelset, not the best frame. If you can’t find anything else you won’t be completely disappointed, but it’s worth looking for smth else.

From what I can find this was a 2011 Cincelli Strato Caleido. Looks like some geriatric owned it based on the saddle and pedals.
This is a pretty nice road bike. My findings said it was a carbon frame and if this is truly carbon it’s also slightly more expensive. The frame and groupset are the most valuable and worthwhile components on the bike. ICAN wheels are basically worthless, they’re a cheap wheel manufacturer sourcing from china. I would take the factory Zonda wheels that it came with even if those ICAN are more aero. It’s also worth noting, the Ultegea groupset is not factory. I also believe the seatpost and cockpit may not be factory. Those components aren’t as important so they’d be fine but it’s nice having the full factory setup/feel. It originally would have had Campagnolo Chorus groupset. Imo, the ultegra is better. Shimano is more serviceable and just better overall manufacturer.
Overall, it’s a nice bike but very overpriced. It’s over 10 years old and doesn’t have all the factory components. You’d need pedals, saddle, and potentially other components to bring it to full capability. I would not pay over $550 CAD for this. If you can get them to come down, it could be a good bike but otherwise keep looking if they’re firm on price. One major thing for someone starting out in cycling is that it’s never worth trying to haggle over a bike that is kind of a mystery machine. There is inherent risk buying used so when they have a bunch of non-factory components it can really affect the value and performance. Once you have good knowledge and experience, you’ll be able to judge if the mismatched components are an upgrade or not. Don’t let that discourage you from buying used. Sometimes that is a great way to get a bike that someone has built up and put really beneficial upgrades on. This bike is not that case.
