Nice spec for the price, tempted to get one as spare bike

Not all carbon is created equal. And whilst it is labelled Ultegra, there isn't a lot of Ultegra on show; shifters front and rear derailleur. I'd prefer a top-end alloy frame and a full 105 groupset for that price. CAAD8 as a winter/second bike would be my choice.
EDIT: on closer inspection, it does see to have Ultegra brakes and rear block. So not a bad deal on the components. Aksium are fine but heavy training wheels.

Looks a bit pants though.
And you know looks is all road bikes are about 😉
