Almost positive this bike is aluminum. As stated above, the Made in USA sticker is a giveaway, and you can see what looks like welds if you zoom in on the last picture. I would be a little suspicious of a seller who is misrepresenting their product, but if it seems legit then you have a good plan. If your budget is strictly $1k, then I would spend a little less on wheels, and spend the rest on fast tires and perfecting your gearing.
