1987 Canondale SR500 Is it a Decent Bike?


Is this a decent bike? I'd like to use it for group rides. Really just starting out riding with groups. I realize some of this is based on my abilities, but can I conceivably keep up with 16 mph pace folks?

It's a 1987 Sr500. Per the catelogue has the "new" Shimano 105 groupset. It's an aluminum which I guess can be kind of rough over long distances. I'd be doing 30-40 mile rides. Is this enough bike or should I save for something better.better?
I also want something I can ride around the city without being to worried about it being stolen. Or at least not too upset if it does get stolen.

Guy says he'd take $160. It's been for sale for a while so I guess he's just sick of trying to sell it.

I dont really love the color or graphics but it seems like a pretty solid old bike for the price.

Also it has Wobler (Worbler?) Wheels. People don't seem to like them much. Would it be worth upgrading?
