Hi y'all! Long time lurker, first time asking silly questions.

Does anyone want to weigh in on which of these craigslist finds I should go for? They are all more or less my size and price range. I know that much of it is a matter of personal preference, but if you had to choose one of these modest machines, which would you go for?

Raleigh Super Course:

As a little bit of background, I had a mid-80's Trek road bike that I loved for about ten years, and gradually built up from a bunch of janky components to something that worked for me. Then it was promptly stolen, from my own yard, while I was home, somehow.

Your experience, expertise, and thoughts are appreciated!

If it helps, I will be outfitting it with fenders and a rear rack. Maybe a little winter riding. And my commute is probably a bit hillier than the average Michigan road.

I should choose the Raleigh, but the price is too high in my opinion. (I have one for sale on Cleveland CList for 270$, but it is no interest yet).

The Super Course is my listing.

I have a refurbished early 1980s Trek 500 I think, in 62cmas well, but haven't had a chance to photograph it yet.

Also, a refurbished Raleigh Technium in 60 or 62 as well.

thanks, marius.suiram.

oddjob2: hope you don't mind my linking your listing. i don't really know what the norms are on this kind of thing. i'd love to see the trek when you have it photographed. is it 500 series, or maybe a 520? i'd prefer a touring set up if i can find one.

Below is an as purchased photo of the Trek, 1983 500 . Paint is excellent, bike has been overhauled and a different saddle.



I have a few other Treks 60-62cm, but no pics handy.
