I think that's a pretty nice bike. The gearing range is slightly more limited than a standard road setup, but is absolutely fine for everything except for very steep climbs and very steep descents (assuming you want to pedal fast down descents.) It would not be difficult to expand the range of the gears.
IMO, $950 is an fair deal if the bike is in excellent shape and fits you perfectly, but it's not a smoking hot deal.
