Does the bike fit you? If so, go for it, $35 is a great price for a first bike.

Who cares if it fits! It's $35! Buy it, and if you don't like it then you can always sell it on ebay for much more that you paid for it.

Are you insane?! (just joking). Get on it man, for $35.00, itis worth more than that in parts.

Don't be surprised if somebody else snagged it while you were thinking about it.

Go now!
