Bicycle Univega Gran Turismo value??

Can anyone advise on the year of this bike and what value is appropriate given the apparent condition? I am a woman looking for a cheap bike for riding around town and I saw this listed on CL.

It was on sale for 125 in Great Barrington, if you are able to google, but I am not able to post the link or photos by the forum....

Thank you thank you!!

If that bike fits, yes this is a good bike and that is a very good deal.

If the bike fits, buy it.

It looks to be around a 21 inch frame. It might be a 19 inch. I'd bring a tape measure and measure it (from the center of the crank to the center or top of the top tube--where the seat post begins

The seller will not have any idea how to measure that bike otherwise the size would have been in the original ad.

If you are 5'4" to 5'8" or so it should fit (or it can be modded to fit).
