Hi guys, I planned to take cyclist as one of my hobby and currently I am in a serious dilemma in choosing a starter bike.

Currently budget still fixed in between 1k~1.5k. So do you guys have any recommendation within that budget? (Please dont just poison me yet with all those carbon frames etc etc. )

BTW is this bike okay for its price?
