It's a very good entry level bike.
Cannondale make very good bikes/frames. Simano Tiagra is bomb proof.
Easy to upgrade.
Would help if you give us more information about how you want to utilise the bike.
What will you be using it for? Sportives/Racing, Commute, Long distance?

it's a perfect bike for sportives. It also has a triple crank, so good for the hills.
Have you tried the bike out? It's best to try before you enter any race. Bikes are very personal things. You may have set your heart on it, but until you actually ride it you don't know if it's the right bike for you.

Looks ok for an entry level alloy bike but the blurb on one site states that comfort shouldn't be a priority when buying it - so it's probably been made quite stiff. Possibly more suited to shorter time trials especially with the alloy forks that come with the bike.
The problem will be that if you upgrade to some middle ranking wheels they are likely to be stiff themselves adding to the discomfort.

Got one myself. Love it. And the triple really helps. The ride is a tiny bit on the hard side but I've done 70 miles no probs at all.
Definitely recommend it
