What do you think of this bike?

Im seeing this bike as a base to start from. Do you guys reckon its a decent bike from the specs? First thing id get rid of is those handle bars. And another thing ive not seen on many road bikes is the hydrolic brakes? What do you reckon? Good first road bike at the price? |
That's known as a hybrid. Basic road frame, wheels with mtb handlebars, brakes and shifters. That means you would need a special handlebar to use original shifters , or road handlebars with new brakes and shifters.
The brakes are mechanical not hydraulic. |

1, I hope you realize that the price is not in US dollars, 2 road bikes do not use hydrolic brakes and 3 that bike is fugly
