Hey guys,
I'm living off campus next year and will need a bike to commute with. I also like working out a lot and staying active and have always wanted to start biking. I have been searching craigslist and some bike forums for the past week and have gotten an idea of what bikes are good deals and what aren't, but still a bike novice so I'd love your guys opinions on the bikes I'm considering. I'm not in a rush, so if none of the bikes appear as a steal then I have no problem keeping an eye out in the next couple of weeks. I'm looking for a hybrid or maybe a road bike and am 6'0 with a 32-33" inseam. Budget is ~300.
Here are
the bikes I've kept an eye on:
1)
Vintage Raleigh Technium Olympian FT - $225
2)
Cannondale SM 400 Mountain Bike (Looks decent) - $200
3)
scattante touring bike 55cm (Looks like it's in good shape) - $275
4)
Schwinn World Sport Road Bike Package Deal - $150
5)
Giant Escape 3 Hybrid Bike - $260
6)
Trek 800 mountain bike - $120
7)
REDUCED GIANT ATX 760 MOUNTAIN BIKE - $175
8)
Trek Kaitai Hybrid MTN Bike (Really like the style of this one) - $275
9)
Specialized * RockHopper * Excellent Condition - $180
10)
Miyata Alumicross with new Touring Plus tires and Charge Saddle - $200
11)
Schwinn World Sport Male - $175
12)
Miyata 10 spd - Male - $180
I really appreciate any advice, thanks guys.
