The seller of the Raleigh M50 seems to be responsive (haven't heard anything from the other sellers - I'm guessing those are already sold). He emailed back with pictures from his camera (higher res than posted on craigslist), and said the bike was a rigid fork (which is obvious from the pics).

From bikepedia I'm not quite sure what year it is - seller said circa 1998, and it's black in color (which goes with the 1999 model), but it's a rigid fork (which is good but leaves me confused as to the model year).

So this is probably the first one I might actually have a chance on. What do you all think? Is it worth about $110 (if it's in good condition)? Was Raleigh making decent bikes in the late 1990s? Or should I wait for one that's been sitting in someone's garage (this one seems a bit more well used than others)?

And this is the link to the 1997 model on bikepedia (not sure of correct year):

Thanks!
