I am hoping this is in the correct area. Apologies if it is not. I am just thinking of getting into road biking. I have noticed a couple of older bikes for sale and were curious if they are decent for a beginner. One is a Cannondale but it is from 1996. It is only a couple hundred bucks but if it fits me would this be a nice intro bike? I would like to do something fairly cheap before spending a boat load if it doesn't last. If I get this one, can I still upgrade the components to this bike to the newer components out there like the newer bikes are going to have?

Thanks a ton for the help!
