New bike - 'used'

So I'm looking forward riding my own bike in the near future now that cycling is my favourite thing to watch I really gonna have to start myself.

I'm a little cautious since I've had a lot plans in the past and then I spend money on it just see it pass by again. Now I'm pretty confident this won't pass by though.. still I'm not gonna spend heaps of money on a bike yet. First I want to ride for a full year and then I might consider spending big bucks.

Anyways I'm browing the web looking for a nice used bike for max 500 euros.
I found this bike Sensa Umbria 62cm, Shimano Sora!! .
Frame: Aluminium, 62cm

Voorvork: Aluminium

Afmontage: Shimano Sora, 3x9 speed

Wheels: Mavic Open Pro met Ultegra naven

Tires: Schwalbe Ultremo R.1

Zadelpen, stuurpen & stuur: Ritchey

Seat: Selle Italia XO

I left some stuff in dutch as I don't know the right translation atm and I'm a little short on time while typing this.
I'm 200cm so I need a big frame.

Anyone knows if this is worth the 500 euros?

i looked it up... not really worth it to give more than 440 euro for it....
bid is now on 400
i dont know much about sora though.. but im sure the frame and wheels are ok...


your lenght might makes it a lot harder not as most frames are 56 or 58 cm... but im sure you can at least get more out of your 500 euro
