Viking XRR road bike - any good?
Hi
Im looking to get my first road bike. I have mountain bike but my new job requires me to cycle about 20kms of quite hilly landscape, so i need a lighter road bike. I usually go for leisurely cycles at the weekend too though not long distances. Im looking at this bike? Im new to road bikes so im not sure if Vikings XRR are any good. Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Heres a link to the bike:

Never heard of it before? What is your budget?
That thing looks like it will be pretty heavy.

My budget is about 350 euro. What brand could I get for that second hand? I'll be doing about 30km in and out to work every day and a 50km cycle every 2 or 3 weekends...So Im not looking for something that can do massive distances just something like that is a good road bike to start one.....
