$125 for a Schwinn Supersport. Good price?

http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/bik/1230343593.html

It has the same shifting and braking components as my Raleigh Technium which I payed $300 for (it has good wheels and saddle though). Is this a good deal and would it fit me? I'm 5'3". If not would it fit someone 5'10"? Thanks for your time!

Must have been decent enough to sell.

The very best deals on Craigs List will usually not last long enough to have a posting: "Is it worth it?" Those postings are best suited to private deals where you don't have competitors going after the same bike.

It is best to have a target size, with some acceptable brands, components, etc., in your plan. And then when a deal pops up, you will act very fast and beat others to it.

Happy hunting, you will find something even better deal wise, I am sure!
