It's XLarge only so make sure it fits.
Is it good value? depends on what your after. At 50% off RRP how can it not be good value . If you are an XLarge fit then these specials do come up every now and then but you have to go look for them ...

The white and black version of that bike is available in small, medium and large sizes at the same price.
If you don’t mind the wavy forks and seat stays, one of the sizes fits and it feels good to ride then it looks like a pretty good buy. There’s nothing wrong with any of the components and the frame, forks and wheels are all reasonably good quality.
Bear in mind the full retail price is heavily inflated for a bike at that level. Shop around a bit more. There are usually lots of other bikes at comparable prices fitted with 105 and similar wheels.
