So lately I have been wanting to learn about bikes.
I don't know where it came from but I have the urge to buy an old bike and tune it up.
I know close to nothing about bikes and need some advice.

Looking on craigs list I found this.

It's advertised as a 12 year old Fuji Del Rey.
This looks like what I am looking for however the price seems ridiculous for a 12 year old bike.

What are some opinions on the price of this, judging by the images?

Its worth depends entirely on market.

In Denver, its not too unreasonable to ask $100 for a bike like that.

Biggest thing, make sure the bike fits. If it fits, brakes well, shifts well, rides well, its likely to be worth $100.

Fuji is a good brand.
