Specialized M4 Festina... good deal?

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

Specialized M4 Festina... good deal?

Specialized S-Works Festina road bike

Seems to be in good shape and a good price. Dura-Ace derailleurs and shifters, ultegra crankset. I think it's probably a 2001, but not positive.

Anyone who knows more than me have any thoughts on the deal or bike?

Never ridden in the rain? In Orlando? How does one manage to never get caught in a rain shower in Orlando?

I would have to assume the person has a private indoor bike trail in their sprawling Clermont mansion.

It would be more enticing if it had the original components.
The frameset and dura ace parts are good... maybe it's worth it if you you have the right stem, bars and saddle to swap in.

I had one of those frames, they are good. Bit on the fast handling side- short wb and steep ht from what I remember
