I can't say much about the bike, but make sure that you get a good test ride in and you might want to go to your LBS and test ride other bikes so that you have a good idea of what you are looking for/ what sort of bike suits you. A good deal is a good deal only if it is a bike that works for *you.* Since you are new to cycling, you might have a more experienced friend go with you to look at the fit, or do a lot of research online.

Also, please make sure to verify that the bike isn't stolen if you do decide to purchase it. Most people are good, but more than a few stolen bikes have been sold on CL...
