Should I buy this bike off craigslst? (Cannondale T700)

Hello everyone, i'm ready to get into touring and i've been looking at bikes and I came across this. Seems like it's in good shape and everything. How much do you guys think it's worth? Is it a good price?

If it fits you, and indeed only has 100 mi. on it, it's a great deal.

Yes, great bike and a good price. I'd pick it and give it a try. It would be easy to resell if you don't like it.

JerWJ, Welcome to the forum.

I have that bike's 23" version and I very highly recommend it if it fits. FWIW it's a '95 model year.

I have a '99 T700 which is my primary commuter bike. I bought it new at the time for about $800. Great bike, and after 28000+ miles, I still love it.
