Dunno how long the white bar tape will last, but buying an Ultegra bike at the price I paid ($1049) was hard to resist.
Well, you'll never regret the price, anyway...

I think that's a really nice bike. The modest effective top tube and tall head tube and more relaxed (than a typical road bike) head tube angle are going to make it a comfy, stable ride. I'n my experience AL frames don't ride harshly when mated to 32c tires. That and the fork will take the sting out.

I have extensive experience with white handlebar tape. It looks stunning at first, but you'll have to work a bit to keep it that way. Always wearing gloves will help - and you can actually scrub most kinds of bar tape with a rag and some Dawn dish soap. Hopefully you got the white saddle , too.

Congrats on the great deal. Remember the rule about pics.
