Hello! I am new to the semi-serious cycling world. I will be competing in my first sprint triathlon this August. I have been training on a high quality mountain bike but I just can't help but think I would go faster on something more suited to this type of riding. I don't want to spend much b/c I'm not sure if I will compete again but I also may do it every year. Anyhow, I found a Schwinn on craigslist for sale. The person is asking $100 which I think is a little steep, however, I don't know much about bikes and what they are worth. Here is the link to the bike: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/bik/1260324801.html. When was the last time they made this bike? What should I offer? I know the condition is hard to tell by the pics. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
