It's not great to be honest, very heavy and uses flat bar shifters on drop bars. But you won't get something great for €200. You should be able to get a second-hand hybrid which might be your best bet.

15kg?! I didn't think it was possible to make a road bike that heavy. Shimano drivetrain should be useable but I have doubts about the durability of the wheels at that pricepoint.
