I have owned mtn. bikes before, but this would be my first road bike. Is this too much bike for me? Sorry about the noob questions, but I have to start somewhere. Thanks.

The bike sounds fine for the price. Don't buy though it's too big for you, no question about it. with a 32" inseam your ballpark road frame size is 56-58, even a 60 is too big for sure.

Sound way to big to me. That would fit a rider well over 6 feet . The problem I foresee the the top tube length. You would be stretched way out over the bike making it hard on the back and neck. You might want to look into a bike more in the 56cm to 58cm range. but if all else false get on it and try it out.

Great bike, but alas, too big. You would fit on an 58 or a 60 at most. Go to a bike specific store, not a big box, and get measured. Oh and the specs are lifted directly off Trek.com.
