How good is this road bike?

I’m not too read-up on road bikes but I want to start riding. Have been looking for a few months now and I came across this bike. I just wanted someone who knew a lot about road bikes to tell me what grade components this bike offers and how it stacks up to, say a Specialized Allez or Trek 1.2??

I’m afraid to say this bike sounds very poor. It doesn’t sound like it has the conventional integrated shifters with the brake levers and the Shimano Tourney range is scraping the bottom of the barrel of bike components.

I would *strongly* suggest looking for a 2nd hand deal on a 1-2 year old Reynolds 531 Steel or Aluminium bike. Once you get more into road cycling you *will* want to upgrade and there’s not much point in upgrading the components as it will amount to more than the bike was originally worth.
