Am I misunderstanding?

Is this:

GIANT ジャイアント ESCAPE エスケープ RX3 2011年 - ヤフオク! - ヤフオク!

1100¥ or am I misunderstanding? I think I understand since it seems pretty simple, but the prices in general for used bikes on yahoo auctions seem quite low and I'm wondering if I'm just making some error in my price readings.

Thanks!

It might just be one of those categories where starting prices are put low to entice buyers. Looking at some of the past auctions for this seller, things might be put at 1000円 but they don't end up there.

Ah, thanks! That makes sense!

@WonkoTheSane Are you getting into road cycling??

Edit: I see, it's a flat-bar.

I'm mostly getting into slowly toddling around whatever neighborhood in Tokyo to which I end up moving. Getting into some shape aside from round, and maybe just enjoying the world as I roll along jauntily.

Strangely, I love the idea!
