Hi! What are your thoughts on this bike? I'm thinking she is perfect but would love your opinions. I'll copy and paste the specs below. For context, my current bike was $300 and she is old but sturdy. Looking for a bike to make me really fall in love with cycling, and one that will last me a long time (and potentially some travel too).

honestly? hell yeah. disc brake for 1k is already a win for me. The only but here, the old di2 and no battery, sounds very annoying to deal with (I have no idea about anything di2 but if it’s old, I’m staying away)
Bike looks quite nice. Should consider the position though. Are you relatively new to road cycling and have you had a chance to test ride?. The position might be a bit aggressive and the steerer tube is cut which can make it a bit harder to get it to fit you.
