  1. I'm wondering if someone could give me some advise as to weather this
    bike is worth buying:

    I know it looks like it should be used for racing but I would use it
    to commute a few miles everyday. I'm just wondering if this thing is a
    piece of junk and will fall apart after a year.

    Chances are that after you get that bike you'll have to take it to a bike
    shop and get it set up properly - alighnment of the derailleurs, spokes
    properly tightened and that sort of thing.

    Because of that it's a better idea to just go to your local bike shop and
    tell them what you want a bike for and then let them set you up. The cost
    will be about twice or more what that bike is but it will make up for it in
    the first year or the first repair job.

    Yes. Get something used.
