Besides the complaints, buy a better bike. Do your research and used may be a better bet.

I had the pleasure of riding with him over most of the course on a gravel race this year...he's very strong and not afraid to ride at the front of a group. In fact, he probably spent the most time at the front out of anyone in our group. Helluva nice guy too.
