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

Centurion Hyperdrive 4200?

Hello!

I apologize in advance if I have posted this thread in the wrong place. I am fairly new to the bike forum, but I have been looking into buying a new road bike. Currently, I am out of the country, but ended up finding a bike I am curious to hear people's reviews on. Has anyone heard of the Centurion Hyperdrive 4200? Or even ridden it? All I know is that it's a German brand. The link to it is...

Would it be worth buying for roughly $1200?

Thanks for everyone's help!

Again I apologize in advance if I have posted in the wrong place. I also posted in general discussion area but realized that posting here would be much better.

Sounds like a not-unreasonable price for those specs, though I don't know anything about the brand.

(I do ride a Centurion, but one of the old '80s ones made in Japan. The German Centurion brand is unrelated, and in fact there exists yet another unrelated Centurion brand from Denmark.)
