AI written description, so the seller probably doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Not sure what group set that is but it looks like SRAM to me, which is definitely better than you’d expect for a $250 bike. Good buy for road riding if it’s the right size for you.
Aluminum rim-brake bike with SRAM’s 2×10-speed Rival groupset. The 10-speed Rival groupset shifts better than Shimano’s old 10-speed 105/Ultegra/Dura-Ace groups due to the SRAM group’s longer shift cable pull. My only gripe with the SRAM groupset is that you use just 1 finger on each side to do all the shifting (the double-tap single-paddle shifting system), which can make your finger feel tired well into a ride.
Drivetrain is a bit dirty which tells you the owner isn’t real meticulous about maintaining the bike. $250 is a fair price for the bike, better if you can negotiate it down to $200 since you will have clean the drivetrain and make sure the chain isn’t worn (need a new chain if the existing chain is stretched 0.5% or more).
