Good price for an entry level bike. Depends on your level and what you plan to do in the future. You may be better off spending more money now and not having to upgrade later. Its all subjective. DB

I'd have to agree with this. I purchased an entry level road bike in January and I'm totally itching for an upgrade now. The tri bug bit HARD! Wish I had just gone with a better bike in the first place.
