If you are looking for a fast, light, stable, and comfortable road bike at an affordable price (compared to a new carbon road bike), this could be your bike! It is a Medium (~54 cm) that can fit people from 5'6" to 5'10" (+/-) and is in good-to-excellent condition. It's "endurance" design keeps the rider comfortable while not sacrificing performance. As an ex-racer from years ago, I can say that it is fast and light enough that it could be used for road racing, particularly for beginner to intermediate racers, if you wanted to do that. The riding I did was primarily 15-80 mile recreational road rides in Marin, and it was a joy to ride. I'm a little sad to part with it.
For those who are thinking about road riding, this is a great bike to start with to see if you want to dive deeper. This bike could last you awhile by itself or serve as a stepping stone to a newer, higher priced model. Disc brakes and electronic shifting are great, but they are definitely not needed to enjoy road riding.
