For that price it’s a good deal.
Its in no way a modern bike, but it’s a high quality top end steel frame from the 1990-s with upgraded newer groupset. I’d take it in an instant if it was the right size.
Yes. This one of their nicer bikes. Should ride great and last a lifetime if you take care of it.
