Raleigh Record
I am looking for a road bike and found this Raleigh Record 10 speed road bike 1980's
$250 seems a bit expensive but I have no clue and wondering what you all think? Also, is this a good bike overall or do you have any other recommendations for a road bike of this style in the $250-$300 or lower range?

Too high, IMO. Records are the bottom of the Raleigh line and that was not among the better years of Records. Chicago is a pricey market, but I still think that's overpriced.
There are a multitude of good brands of vintage steel bikes so there are too many to name, but if you page through this forum you can learn a lot from other queries.
Generally speaking, stem shifters are indicative of lower end models so I'd look for bikes with downtube shifters.
