New to this community… don’t know terribly much about components value. Wanted to post and see if this was worth the price. Going to buy it for my business tomorrow. I know the fork is pricey and the frame is solid. $695 asking
Thanks for your help!

Seems fair.
Good price if the frame fits you.
yeah it might sound like a lot but that’s probably about right. do you know if that frame is up to the job of two racks? is it fairly early aluminium? it looks like its from when they started making aluminium bikes but hadn’t worked out the larger tubing sizes, hydroforming etc, so just made them with narrow straight tubing similar to the steel bikes that came before.
I’ve seen your listing and it seems like a good deal! Worst case scenario it may move faster if you part it out.
Which fork is this? Not the crust fork, right? (Edit: I cannot see the tabs for disc though it does look like the Clydesdale fork).. I suppose disc brakes would be better to stop heavier loads on downhill rides, so .. are you a light rider and/or do you ride in a mostly flat area?
V-brakes in front, cantilevers in back is gross. Those need different cable pull and there are only a handful of brake levers that can accommodate that.
Unless you are very, very tall, that long stem is going to put in you in a bad position for city riding. Narrow bars aren’t great either.
Limited gear range is also not great especially if you will be pushing heavy loads or if there are any hills around.
It looks nice, but it has too many compromises to be a good bike for most riders.
