Hello everyone.

I have enjoyed cycling, just as a side hobby for a few years now. I have a Gary Fisher hybrid bike I got three years ago (don't remember the exact model name). It's a nice bike which I ride mainly on the road.

I am in college now though and did not want it to get damaged on campus/in the weather (living in the dorms my first year). So I'm looking for an inexpensive, lightweight commuter bike that I can ride around campus and also around town. Older is good...willing to do some work on it if need be.

My local bike shop (CycleWerks) doesn't usually sell parts, so I am looking for something used. I did come across a Spalding men's 27" frame though today on Craigslist. The seller is about 2 hours away and is asking $60 for the bike. I haven't contacted him yet but will be calling him this weekend.

What are people's thoughts on this?



Here is the ad listing:

I also want to take it on long rides now and then. But I don't think that would be an issue.

Thanks in advance,
- Sean
