Specialized Sequioa Elite

Hey guys,

So I ditched my walmart mtb and put a hold on a 08 spec sequioa elite at a lbs. They marked it down to $900. Is this a good deal? Any opinions on this bike? I did test ride the bike and others and its the one I like most. I'm new to road cycling (for fitness) so I figured I'd start out with this model. Most of my riding will probably be after work and on weekends - averaging between 17-35 miles rt. I don't think I'll be racing it so I don't think I really need the best parts/upgrades for it (not right now anyway). My only concern is the wheels (700x25c). I'm 5'11" and at 225 (lost 10lbs riding the mtb already). Can it handle the abuse of my weight?

Thanks guys.
