Only recently got onto this community and I'm seeking some tips on getting my first road bike.
I've spotted a apollo giro disk (year unspecified) for under $600 and thought it's a bargain. The gravel tyres are not perfect for city commuting but I guess I can also take it off track for trips.

Edit 3: Found out this is actually a 2014 Giro Disc HI-VIZ painted black. With other downgrades/replacements?
- Alloy handlebar replaced with Bontrager
- Carbon fork replaced with unknown alloy fork
- 105 shifter replaced with Sora
- Seat, seat posts and tyres have also changed.

How much would you price this bike to be?
Edit: seeing that this bike is potentially not a great deal, would this Giant OCR be a better deal? Does seem to have only 9 speed 5500 derailleur so possibly 15+ years old too? Would it be worth it if it's 400?
