New Rider... Advice on Lamborghini Rapido 17"

[mndrs538]

Hi!
I'm a brand new rider and was offered a lamborghini rapido for $125... it's brand new and 17". I'm 5'8" and have longer legs than torso... does anyone have any advice as far as if this is a good deal or not? Are there other bikes that I could get the same price that would be better for me? I'm going to race in a mini tri in about a month and need to start training ASAP.... please help!

I don't know anything about that particular bike, but I know that at 5'8", most 16-19 inch frames are too small for me. Have you actually ridden the bike? The price may seem tempting, but if it doesn't fit you, you will regret wasting your money.
