Hey I'm looking for a second hand bike and stumbled upon this one. Appartently it was bought in 2019 (?) and has 4000 km.
Is it worth 1600 euro's?
I still have to testride it though!

The fork is cut down to the minimum. This means that unless your are very similar in measurement and flexibility to the prior owner, you will be unable to adjust it to fit you.
Old forks can be very difficult to come by. I would pass on an otherwise good bike for this reason.
You want room in the streeter to adjust the bike for your body.
No
Objectively yes. For you, probably not.
I rode a slammed (fork steerer cut to lowest) Aeroad regularly when I was younger (early 30s) and it looked damn cool, but every ride over 30km my lower back would hurt and it never got any better.
Unless you have the flexibility of a semi-pro racer, this should be a hard pass.
