Here's the Craigslist Ad:

He is asking for $300
He is not sure which year the bike is from, but thinks it's "Early 90s". To me, it looks more like a 1988 like this one:

Anyone have any ideas as to the year?
Also, he says it comes with Armadillo Kevlar tires he claims worth $100. Are they really worth that much?
I have heard others have bought this bike in the $100 to $150 range, so I am unsure of what to ask for this. If the tires are worth $100, I might ask him to lower to $200-250. If the tires really are not worth that much, then I would not go see it tomorrow unless he could do $150-200. I know the Trek 1200 is well regarded, but this bike is almost as old as I am!
I am looking for a bike for the streets of NYC and central park. Any help for this newbie who is trying to move on from Walmart bikes is much appreciated!
