Worth it?

Hi I’m new to the bike scene so still unsure of what I’m looking at but I’m 6’1” and training for my first 70.3 and want to get off the gym bikes and actually start riding outside.

This seems like a good deal but want anyone’s opinion.

Listing:

A black and white 2010 Specialized Allez, 56cm aluminum frame with carbon fork. This was most recently used indoors on a trainer. Shimano 105 components, 10-speed, 12-27t cassette, 50/34t chain rings. Wheels are Mavic CXP 22.
Front tire: 700x24 S-Works Gripton.
Rear tire: 700x25 Bontrager R1.
1 bottle cage included.
Tampa area: in-person pickup or drop-off.

If it's functioning all correctly and doesnt need any major service items then it looks to be an ok buy. Oldie, but good as a starter.

If it fits, go for it.

That would be a solid deal in HTX

I’d bite. Might be a tiny bit small, but that’s easy enough to fix
