my schwinn tourist costs me 75 off CL, i think i saw a few at around 120-150... it's not a light bike, but it's not too heavy either (i didn't weight it but my friend's road bike are a little lighter).

the shifter on the tourists is nice, it's a legit road/hybrid shifter, sometimes you even see road bike that people put together using grip shifter (like wtf).

The wheels on the tourist uses strader valves, so you can just stop by any gas station if you have a problem pump it up and ride home.

The rear derailers are just entry level/so is the front, but i don't mind, it's usable...

for 75 i think it's worth it, i like the upright position of hybrid compare to road bike, you can add an end bar and it'll turn your bar into a drop bar (some what)...

always buy bike used, everything on a bike is so simple, unless it's broken most things can be fix pretty easy, just make sure the parts aren't broken.
