Apparently the guy took it to a shop and they did a tune up for him (see original post).. I'm 5 10 does this sound about right for a 19 inch? I am also concerned about the age. I asked about cracks and the guy said that the bike shop did not mention anything else was needed/wrong. New tires, new crank..

What should I look for? Rust, cracks, where?

Was this, is this, a good bike? I believe Kona is a solid name.. Compared to a trek 400 let's say? I just want a solid ride, with good relaible components that I can ride around town. Perhaps some light off road...

I chain up my bike all day at the train station so I dont want to go the New 700 plus route...
