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

That's a great component group, and an unbeatable price. Assuming he's atleast 5'10 I would probably buy it.

With all 105's, 150 isn't a bad price.
