Did you copy paste the stuff from the website? Some stuff doesnt add up... The 105 Shifters alone cost around 300euro. These are provided with the bike but still...

The frame sounds ok... if its made in a nice factory... Whats the frames story? Any comments about the geometry etc? How old is the brand? Do they give any waranties?

Zoom is Taiwan made alloy components I think. They seem ok (like in quality).

The tyres are not the fastest probably...

The brakes are non-brand?

The fork sounds a bit bad... They wouldnt say 700c (the wheels diameter) if it was a quality component I think...

If anything goes wrong the gears and shifters are pretty good, so you would only need to change the frame...
