The components are tiagra and shimano. The bike has hardly been used.

I was also told that I can easily adjust the seat if 56 cm is too small or too large, but being the novice I am I would probably not know the difference.

Is this a good bike for a beginnger? Is this a good price for the bike and the accessories?

General thoughts? Please help!
How tall are you?
