I'm looking at this as an entry level road bike. Much appreciated if someone can tell me what DBR model and year it is? I know there is an S2 and S3 so I'm assuming this is from before those.. Any idea of a ballpark price? All thoughts welcome!

What DBR bike is this? And thoughts on DBR..
Hi guys
I'm looking at this as an entry level road bike. Much appreciated if someone can tell me what DBR model and year it is? I know there is an S2 and S3 so I'm assuming this is from before those.. Any idea of a ballpark price? All thoughts welcome!

Re: What DBR bike is this? And thoughts on DBR..
Been doing .ore research since the post, starting to think it's a Criterium by the wheelsets but the straight forks are throwing me off. The only other option I think, is an Interval, but those seem to have had sexier looking wheelsets straight out of the shop.. Keen to hear opinions.
Thank you.
Thank you.

It looks vaguely similar to my DBR Podium:
You can't see much in the picture, but it's not much of a bike to look at so I didn't waste too many pixels on it
EDIT to add a crop of the full-res photo which might be more useful for seeing something more of teh bike:
Mine has the straight CrMo fork.
I don't know many details about it, only that I bought the frame+fork+headset for $100 on eBay a couple of years back, and I'll be hoping to get about the same for it when I get rid of it in a few weeks. EDIT: looking at my bar and saddle position might give some indication of why I'm selling it - replacing with a custom frame
Apparently there were Podium 1 through to Podium 4. I don't even know which end of the scale was the up-spec end.
Big W had DBR road bikes for sale about 18 months ago - astonishingly good value for a very cheap road bike, a 2200 groupset hanging off a frame, for $250. In the catalogue pictures it looked like it might have been the same frame as my Podium. It could be that they put a variety of sticker sets on the same frame.
No idea what a whole bike would be worth second hand, but reckon on $100-ish plus component value.
