Cannondale f4

I'm about 99% sure I'm going to close on this bike tomorrow! I rode it today and it was nice eventhough it's not set up for me yet.

Can somebody take a look at the specs and tell me if this is the best bike for the 900 price range please? Also, is this a bike that will grow with me as my skills increase? If I'm just going to have to replace it completely in 2 years, I might as well get a 500 dollar bike. I am mainly focused on the frame when I ask this question, because if the frame is good enough, I should be able to build around it as I get better and start doing more complicated stuff.
Finally, does any company beat these specs for 900 or less? Thanks again for the help guys. You have really helped me out thus far. I appreciate ya.
