Hi all, I am looking to buy my first road bike but am looking just on facebook marketplace online. This buy was posted a day ago but seems to almost be too good to be true at 180 pounds. Is there anything obviously wrong with the bike? The model seems to be from around 2015 and is said to be a Specialized Allez elite, so quite an old model, but other than that is there an obvious fault with it? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask a question like this but I wasn't sure what subreddit to go to.

It’s a 10 year old bike. I can’t tell the groupset from the resolution of the photos. 180£ is what I’d pay for it.
It is a good deal but it isn’t 2015 model, it is model year 2011-12.
it looks quite large, probably for somebody at least 6 foot to 6′ 2″, maybe even taller
Decent bike but very old, price seems about right imo
If it fits you, it looks good. Remember that most of the speed comes from the rider, not bike.
