Had to do a couple searches on that brand name since no, I had not heard of it. Looks like it's a specialty brand focused on tri-athlon (time trial) bikes, and their HQ is in Illinois. The Sabino is noted at the link below, but looks like the last model is 2011 and nothing since. Could be good, and if it's in your price range might be fine. Do you know what components are installed on it? That could be a factor as it seems Javelin sells many of their bikes with many different groupsets from super cheap to super expensive.

Edit: Worth adding, that tri bikes are usually more aggressive geometry, focused on going in a straight line, but the Sebino looks similar to a Cannondale CAAD9 geometry so it may be a good all-around bike (not too "racey" geometry, not necessarily relaxed either).
