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

Giant TCR team buying advice

Hello,
I came across a giant tcr team frame with the following components going for SGD 1800 (~USD 1200). Please comment if is worth the price. This is my first road bike purchase. Are there things I should be vary about? Thanks

Giant TCR Team frame-(don't know the model year)
Shimano ultegra rear derailleur
Shimano 105 crank set
Shimano Tiagra front derailleur
Shimano Sora shifters

The bike fits and feels good, though I haven't taken it for a test ride.
