I can get this for $1000AU ($650US, £500) brand new. Bear in mind bikes tend to be more expensive in Aus, do you think it's a good deal? It feels like it's spec'd very well and only really skimping on the brakes compared to bikes with much higher price tags.
Would just be a commute/hobbyist roadie-railtrail riding kinda bike for when I can't be arsed going on my MTB. Claris and Tektro is probably 'fine' for that right? I would rarely trust Shimano's bottom tier offerings, nor tektro, on a mountain bike but surely roads are fine with weaker brakes? Not like I'll be racing.
