Nishiki vintage road bike-worth asking price?
Hi, I'm a total bike noob to be honest. But I want to buy a bike to commute to school (about four miles) to not have to deal with my car on the daily. This bike is the one I'm most interested in. Is it worth $240? Is there anything I should ask the seller? Help? https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/4329577167.html

Congrats! If you are a (and I quote :-)) "total bike noob" - get it to the shop or handy friend to give it thorough check over

Still learning
Get a decent lock too! They all can be compromised, but you need to buy one strong enough to make it easier to steal someone else's bike first.
