Go for it if they have one in your size. It has components comparable to what you would get for many bikes in this price range. The 10.64 kg weight is way less than most cheap low end bikes. If you like it, buy it. Winter is on its way so you might be able to get in some riding before it gets truly dreadful in the north.

BTW, road bikes are hardly fragile if you treat them right. I owned a really good, lightweight, early 1970s Motobecane Le Champion for decades and never even trued a wheel on the bike over many thousands of miles. Of course I didn't ride it off curbs .
