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.

Sale on Javelin complete bikes
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).
Here is the post of the bike - I just quoted it - $800. It is out of my price range but I might be willing to compromise if it is a good enough deal.
