Purchasing used road bike - Need opinions!

--->>>Moving this to the vintage forum<<<---

Hello all-

As per the title, I'm looking to pick up a used (~$150) road bike. I live in Chicago, so I have a plethora of options on craigslist but am having difficulty navigating my way through them all...
The bike will be used primarily for commuting, but I also want to try and get out of the city as much as possible to ride around the suburbs and such. Nothing too demanding, I just want a solid bike that I will be able to depend on.
I am about 6'4", so my only difficulty has been finding bikes of a decent frame size. I'll post a few I've looked at, and hopefully someone with a more informed eye can offer their opinion (I know next to nothing about bikes...).

#1 and 2 seem like they have potential?

Never heard of this brand...

Probably too short?

Maybe?

Any advice is much appreciated, I would like to try and purchase one soon to get some riding in before winter takes over.

Thanks!
