Should I Buy a Giant Rincon? Or Just Keep My Old Schwinn Sierra? Or A Single Speed?

I have a 80's Schwinn Sierra I was going to put road tires on for $50. I paid $40 and it has a rack with it.

The question is: Would it be worth it to buy a Giant Rincon that has street tires already on it and try to transfer the rack? Guy is asking $100

My other option is something lighter....a Purefix Echo for $100 or a Aventon Mataro for $200?

This would be for commuting and grocery getting. There are some hills but only a few.

Distances would be no more than 10-15 miles.

Is there anything wrong with your Schwinn? If not, keep it but don't invest 50$ worth of tires in it. You can get some good commuting tires for much less than that.
