It does look like the you're not getting Shimano shifters, brakes, cassette or chain. The only parts Shimano are the front and rear derailleurs. Those Sensah shifters are not the best even compared to the other Chinese groups like L-Twoo

Not familiar with the levers, but it is nice that the rest of the drivetrain is 105. Also, carbon wheels at this price is pretty good

I would not call this "rest of the drivetrain" - this reminds me of the old days where bike companies would throw a higher level derailleur and call it "Ultegra" mix for example. In this case only two parts out of mix and match of ali-express are actually Shimano. Would have been better even if it were the new 11 speed Tiagra, which wouldn't be that much more expensive.

But make sure you check the geometry chart - based on the stack/reach I would be on a size Large, even though I'm only 5'7. For comparison I have a 52 Crux and usually in a "Small/52" size rage. This has fairly horizontal top tube, so I would have to go down a size, but have a really long stem which would mess with the handling.

Btw bikeinsights has the stack a little longer that what's listed on the Ali, and I'm not sure which one is right:

the PRO version is supposed to be Shimano 105 throughout, the base model has Sensah mixed with 105

If you check at the second specs it looks like PRO adds Shimano shifters and brake calipers, but cassette, crankset and chain are not Shimano which normall would be part of a "full" build. But better build overall.

Also, my understanding is that you cannot put a tire exceeding 28 on the rear

Right, you will be getting Sensah shifters/brake levers and a cheap crankset. Sensah usually uses some weird lever shifting that is going same way, it is nothing like Shimano 105. Cheaper components make it a so-so deal. And don't forget 25mm tires

There is not much of "rest". You have $25 FD and $30 RD. I wouldn't bet on cassette to be Shimano either
