How many meters is considered alot?

Looking at a used concept 2 as my lifecore r1000 wont change magnetic resistance, theres a concept 2, 3 years old with 7,000,000 meters for 1400cdn, is that a ton of meters? Good price?

Is 'CDN', Canadian Dollars? That sounds fairly expensive but it's all about supply and demand atm.

Seven million isn't too many metres as long as it's been looked after. I have had mine for about 18 months and I've probably done about three million metres and it's in great condition, and all I have done is oil the chain and clean the flywheel and only use it indoors.

A quick look over it should be enough to know if it's been looked after.
51 HWT; 6' 4"; 1k= 3:09; 2k= 6:36; 5k= 17:19; 6k= 20:47; 10k= 35:46 30mins= 8,488m 60mins= 16,618m HM= 1:16.47; FM= 2:40:41; 50k= 3:16:09; 100k= 7:52:44; 12hrs = 153km

What model? What monitor?

At that price I'd wait eight weeks and have a new one (with a PM5) shipped north over the border from Vermont for CDN$1,230.

Pm5, ya thats what I am thinking. Rogue sells 1250$ new plus tax and shipping, but thats basically the same for brand new!

My R100 broke ( works fine just cant adjust magnetic resistance )
