incazzare.
That is a lower end model. It's pretty overpriced, IMO. Even here in NYC that is maybe a $125 bike.

A lot of guys on CL simply buy bikes cheap at yardsales and auctions and do minimal to make them sellable. For $200 this needs way too much work and cleaning.
It looks like you can't even ride it home

Chain isn't even routed through the RD correctly. WTF??? Never seen that one before. Rear brake lever is missing. This is a really really bad hack job. One of the worst I've ever seen. Bike is worth maybe $50 as pictured. Could be worth up to $150 all cleaned up in great shape.

Also the rear wheel looks to be not right for the bike wrong size and spacing like someone took a 700c wheel with 126 spacing and just kinda forced it onto the frame made for a 27 inch wheel with smaller spacing. I'm pretty sure it has two different size mismatched wheels right now niether of which are quit right for the bike..

Agree with the others that this is a bad deal but I love the ad. S writes "Please don't ask too many questions about it. Because I don't know much about bikes."
Love it.
Love it.

$5 for parts. Drive over in a motor vehicle to drag the thing home.
