Did I just get ripped off?

I'm new to the biking community and just bought my own (used) road bike yesterday! I got a 2001 GT ZR 4.0 and paid $350 for it.

My concern is that I cannot find any part specs for the bike, nor can I find any reviews for this model. I can see that it has a 105 derailleur in back and a Tiagra in front but other than this I'm not sure if my haste to finish searching for an affordable road bike just got me ripped off?

Any guesses?

Might have found somthing better for the same price, but not a rip off if it's in good shape.

I had a ZR 3.0 for my daily ride. It was full 105. It was a great ride, super stiff and responsive. It wasnt the lightest, but it got the job done. Unfortunately, I totaled it about a month or so ago. Id buy one again if that matters.

As far as I know, the 4.0 is the same if its got the 7000 aluminum. If you upgrade the components to 105, or higher, youve got yourself a good servicable ride that will serve you well.
