I don't know if this bike fits you . . . but, it certainly looks like it's ready to go: it looks a lot like the setup that I prefer, e.g., the tops of the bars are about level with the saddle so you still have the use of the drops if you need to take a more aggressive positon, such as against a headwind: otherwise, it looks comfortable. Plus, I like triples.
