It’s a fixed gear (only one gear), which is not typical for a drop bar “road bike”. It only has one brake, and I can’t even see that it’s connected.
This isn’t ideal for a newbie.

Too much wrong with the setup of this bike. Find something different

Kind of depends what you’re going to use it for. Starting track racing? Commuting and locking up outside. Just tooling around on? For $200 it’s probably fine. If you’re new to riding a single speed or fixed gear, you’ll get used to it but it isn’t for everyone. It looks like it’s setup for easy spinning. It’s a pretty standard entry level ss/track bike. If it’s in decent shape, you won’t have to worry about it for $200. If you want to do long rides or a lot of climbing this probably won’t be what you’re looking for.
