Hello /n/ I'm looking to buy a used bike. Something thats good quality but does not break the bank. So I found this bike on craigslist. If someone can look it up for me and tell me if its worth the price, especially considering all those parts.

No way, I wouldn't pay more than $100 for that Raleigh. The seller may have sunk more than that into fixing it up, but at the end of the day it's still a bike with a stem shifter and a crappy frame. If anything, aside from installing modern bars and freewheel, he made it a less capable bike than it would have been with the stock parts.

OP, tell us your height, budget, and intended use and we can browse your CL page for better options.

Not OP, I'm really having a hard time finding a decent road bike. I've been looking for almost a week, but I've only found one that I really liked, but the seller already sold the bike (yet he still has the listing up, it's the blue carbon Trek w/ Ultegra). It's my first road bike and I really don't want to make a bad decision. Many thanks in advance.

You can change the filters if you like, but I'd rather not travel outside of 50 mi. from where I live, unless it's a REALLY good deal.

Also, I want to use it to commute to college (~8 miles) and leisure rides.

OP here. That'd be so very nice of you. I'm 5'11". Mainly wanted to find a bike for commuting back and forth to college which is like 3 miles. But my city is a lot of uphills and downhills and I'm not in the best of the shape so I want something thats light and efficient. For budget I was thinking $250. Can stretch it to $300 if its a really good deal.

Either of these would work well:

This would be a great bike to start on.
>https://orlando.craigslist.org/bik/5754500814.html
very fair price on this one - you might need a longer stem but that's easily done
>https://orlando.craigslist.org/bik/5779509523.html
Are you a chick? This looks to be about the right size, but being a Terry bike it will have a short top tube (women tend to have relatively shorter torsos). Price is a bit on the high side tho.
>https://orlando.craigslist.org/bik/5799984864.html
Just add wheels, would be a steal if all the parts work.

>Are you a chick?
Nah, why'd you assume that?

again, thanks for the recs

nice windows store on your taskbar

Thanks for looking through CL for me. I had looked through that road bike before but didnt really think about it because of the mountain handle bars. However, I could still look into it, if it looks like a good deal
>>
>>1013200
for commuting its actually pretty nice to have flat bars
>>
>>1013200
Lolz Noob question: Should I be asking for a discount though?

bike still listed for sale. what happened, op?
