First Roadbike: rebuilt cannondale r300
Hello
I've been looking for my first road bike and I found a 2000 cannondale r300 that has been rebuilt with SRAM apex complete group set, mavic askium wheels and gatorskin tires. The frame is a 52cm. I am about 5'6" and I am about to grow being only a sophomore in highschool. If possible id like to have this bike for the rest of highschool. Would this bike be a good option?
Thanks!

I'm 5'11" and ride a 56cm. You shkuld be fine. There is usually a bit of wiggle room for bike sizing, depending on your inseam, arm length, torso length, bu that sounds like a good size to start out with, for your height.
