First road bike..
 
So, I bought my first ever road bike from ebay..Bad idea probably? I read the spec...
BTWIN Sport 1

If there were only one bike, it would be this one Features
Power transmission / Propulsion : Aluminium frame for excellent energy transfer.
Efficiency : 27 speeds, controlled from the handlebars, to manage all gradients.
Rigidity : Integrated aluminium head tube for stiffness and precision.
Easy adjustment : Fully adjustable using Allen keys.
Composition : 6061 T6 aluminium frame (8 tubes) with an integrated head tube for superior rigidity (this model). Cr-Mo steel fork. Aluminium handlebars, stem and seatpost. Royal Viper saddle. OUNCE chainset with 50X39X30 triple chainring and crank length suited to the size of the bike. Shimano 2200 series shifters and derailleurs. 3 X 8 gears. 12x25 cassette, KMC chain. Aluminium double pivot brake calipers. Hutchinson tyres and inner tubes, aluminium double wall rims. Standard pedals. Weight: 10.9kg (size 57 with pedals).

Is this any good?

It's a medium bike, and I fit the medium frame.

Because people 'me' decide to rush things thinking its the best deal. Then after thinking it though think oh no! This was bad.

Well, thats my reason..:(
