This is my first post as I am new to cycling forums. Well, I got a road bike 6 months ago and now my mom wants a road bike to keep up with me on our rides. I was searching through craigslist and found this add. I think it is perfect for my mom because she is 5'2" same as the owner of the bike(and the other fitting adjustments I guess can be at a bike shop). Anyone have advice on their experience of buying used bikes. I was thinking of meeting the person selling it at a bike shop so we can have it inspected before we buy it. Lastly does anyone know what year TCR-1 model it is. I can't tell if it is the tcr alliance, composite, or advance. Thanks for the advice and help.
This is the add on craigslist

Like new Giant TCR-1 road bike. This is a fantastic bike, the colors are awesome and it's light as a feather. This is a small frame bike (52cm) as I am 5'2".
I bought this bike brand new for $1500, used it less than a month and it's been collecting dust ever since. I took up soccer instead.
Nice components: All Shimano Ultegra, carbon frame (total bike weighs about 9lbs) 10 speeds(sorry no granny gear) and has less than 100 miles on it. Not a scratch on her. The picture shows the same bike as mine. It's perfect weather, take her out and ride!!
