I think you pretty much nailed all the considerations. It's a fancier version of the bike you have. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you know it. If the fit is spot on, then the price is really good. You could re-sell your Rom and recoup most of it from that. MA2 rims which people like a lot. Good basic 105 components (similar to what were on the Romulus). Factor in $100 to ship back to the East Coast. I think you could get $900 for the Rom in good condition, so you're looking at $400 for fancier bike. See if the seller will go down. Again, focus on fit. If it's your size, go for it. If it's not, then pass.
