Hey all,

I am just looking to get into road biking. I found a bike on a website that a friend used to buy a bike, and would love some advice. I'd appreciate it if you read through the specs of the bike and let me know your thoughts. Are the components good? Is this a good price for the bike? Etc. Thanks!
