Is this a good bike? Information for a new rider

If you can ride it to make sure it fits, then sure. But I would never buy my first bike blind (without taking it for a ride).

It's a really nice looking steel bike but probably will see its price ramp up as the end date nears. It does say the BB has had issues, that isnt a plus. My prior bike had BB issues and would rattle like nobody's business even when I had it tightened up well. Given it is your first bike I would suggest browsing Craigslist so you can make sure you fit on the bike and like it.
