Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looks like it's Sora equipped, for that price, you certainly won't get much better if you go new. They don't supply many or any other details about the bike however so it's hard to gauge any other aspects of the bike.

Why not buy used on Ebay? That really does look like a rebadged, slightly upgraded GMC Denali.

If you're not mechanically challenged, I would suggest the used bike route.

For $400 you could get a good steel frame 80's bike.
