I have had this bike about four years. I kept it in the garage and mostly rode my mountain bike during that time. I did keep it maintained though and rode it some last season. The frame is 56 cm.

i think it sounds like a good starter bike.....i have a trek 1000 and it is great for my daily riding and whatnot.....and 400 is not bad at all
