mukhang ok na rin for a starter bike, not very sure kung good buy nga talaga since pre-owned na sya and walang nalagay kung gaano ka-old, sumemplang na ba bike na yan, or gusto lang mag-upgrade or nagsawa na. shimano parts are divided into yet several categories - from low end(acera) to high end(dura-ace yata). so i'm not sure what parts ang kinabit.
two years ago, bumuo ako ng bike. alloy frame din and mostly high-end shimano parts ginamit ko. umabot ako ng P15K. that's brand new.
so i suggest, check out muna sa cartimar/quiapo and see how much you'll end up with sa mga components mo. uso na rin kasi ngayon ang disk brakes, at i think medyo nagmura na. sa disk brakes, kelangan mo disk-brake ready ang frame, ang hubs, etc. usually set na yan. after ka makapag-canvass ng prices and it's not that far away from the one sa bidshot, e di magbuo ka na lang(usually bike shops nagbubuo, ituturo mo lang gusto mong piyesa ).
save some money for a helmet, cycling shorts(with foam sa groin area) & a dri-fit shirt.
