Just got into Bike hobby and impulsively got this for $550. Seller mentioned gear was changed to a higher cassette.
Also came with
2x Bontrager Seats
2x Bike pants? New
Tire tube
Etc idk
Was just wondering if i made an okay choice.

Not a bad deal at all. I’d ditch the shorts if they’re as old as the bike. Buy new ones with fresh padding.
Get the bike looked at by someone ideally that has experience trueing those paired spoke wheels.
Whoever’s saddle height is pictured is too small for this frame size so if that is you, that may be a problem.
Good bike, great color scheme, looks like decent condition too. 2009 model I believe.
As long as it’s from a reputable manufacturer and has good reviews, you’re good to go!
I think there might be a potential component mismatch on your bike.
Your photo isn’t real clear what kind of shift levers are on your bike, but if they are the 10-speed 105 or 10-speed Ultegra levers, those are mismatched to that Tiagra 4700 rear derailleur, which is not compatible with 10-speed 105/Ultegra levers. If this is the case, the shifting is not going to work well– The Tiagra 4700 rear derailleur uses a different shift cable pull ratio than 10-speed 105/Ultegra levers.
Better check which shift levers you got.
Was going to say if you didn’t I’ll take it, bikes like that in my area are stupidly priced. People are trying to sell their used Walmart bikes for $100 here.
