Help IDing Lemond & Valuation
What do you guys think this is?
Worth it? I'd have to drive an hour there to get it at 15 miles per gallon in my xterra.

Thanks!
Note:
My phone crashes when I try to hyper link anything on here.
Edit: I didn't know it would automatically hyperlink it. Sweet!

I don't know. It is probably a good deal. It does look a little rough. Are those flightdeck 9 speed shifters?
Definite signs of use and wear.
Chain?
Seat?
Anyway, I'd say the price is about right. Not a spectacular deal. Not a bad deal. Although, with a little TLC, you might be able to "flip" it for $300 or so.
The last bike parts I picked up about an hour's drive away... I drug my trailer on my bike and made it into a great day-trip of a bit over 100 miles.

You need to make sure it fits. Long top tube there. Also determine what "needs work". If the brifters are shot, the wheels toast, etc. a $150 bike becomes a money pit, not a deal. Check for dents and other potential issues.
If it just needs cleaning, cables and lube, the asking price is a bargain.

If you can fix it yourself, and your plan would be riding it, as long as it isn't an internally rusty flood bike, it would be worth it.
But as a candidate for flipping? Too much money. You would never turn a profit on it at $300 that a working bike could be sold for.

Not a bad starter bike. Like noted, needs a lot of attention. I bet you could get him down to $100.

For a "beater bike", it should clean up quickly.
New Chain.
New Seat
Tires?
Once-Over tune-up.
A bit of soap & water.
Some of the spots visible in the photos may just be dirt & grime.
It is a relatively tall bike. I like taller frames myself, but say a size somewhere between 5'10" and 6'2" or so.
You'd be doing quite well if you get it down to $100, but $150 is reasonable. It sounds like your commute to get it is a bit of a pain, but not bad for a nice Sunday bike ride. How's the weather down south?
