$220 for the attached reasonable?

I'm a real bike newbie looking to pick up a used bike for short (~25m) weekend rides.
From the relatively little experience I've had biking, lurking here, and reading Sheldon's stuff, I think I'm looking for a steel frame road bike with a frame size around 60 cm - maybe something like an older Super Sport? Would finding something like this be possible for $150-160? Am I being bat-poop insane? :eek:
I realize pricing is location and season sensitive, so I'm considering passing my initial budget, but at the very least I wanted to get an opinion. If that opinion isn't "Oh God, you would need to pay me for that piece of scrap" I might spring for it.
Thanks!
[edit] Apologies if this shouldn't go into "Classic and Vintage".
