Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It looks like a real good deal, don't know that much about Focus did they change anything since 2009?

Seeing as the the wheels are worth more than half of that price, I'd say that's a good deal.

Make sure you take the bike out for a spin before you buy though because that Focus is a stiff, racing machine. Make sure that is actually what you want.
