As to the OP: To make things easy for ya go with 700c wheels, Cassette (Not freewheel), Compact Crank (Not square tapper), 130mm or more spacing at the rear. So that means a bike about the late 80s or early 90s would be the oldest you could go.
Thanks! I do already have a gravel bike with drop bars in addition to my mountain bikes, so with this one I want something fast. I am comfortable working on my bike, but I don't want to have to work too hard to find replacement parts when the ones on the bike wear out. I am definitely looking for something newer than the 90s so it sounds like it won't be much of a problem
