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

In the first place does it fit you? Next, what are you going to use it for, racing, commuting, general riding???

Then go for it if it's in decent condition. I think for $550 its a steal!

That is not a commuter. Tight gearing, no place for racks/panniers.

It might be a trainer/racer, given the gearing, if you are a very fit rider.

Take a look at the cogs - you won't be climbing big hills with that unless you are very very fit.

Most importantly....does it fit? Price seems decent, I'd guess its about ~2010 vintage, so still relatively new. Not setup for riding in hilly areas though, that can be fixed, but it'd be an extra ~$150 for new crank+cassette+chain.

Curious looking setup. High stem and short saddle, looks almost like the 90s and early 2000s
