The components are pretty decent and appear to be a good deal. Like the others said, whether it is a good buy depends on how well the bike has been maintained. Four year old shocks may need to be...

Agree with patentcad. I love to have disk brakes on my road bike for that reason. They can really make the difference on a descent. One of the bike trails I ride has a steep descent (getting up to...
