I have the opportunity to purchase one of two bikes. The first is a mid-90's Cannondale M300 CAAD1 in very nice shape. The other is a mid/late 90's Specialized HardRock. I plan to bike on neighborhood streets/light trails with my two young sons. Both are competitively priced around $150. Given the choice of the two, which would you take and why? My gut feel is this is a "no-brainer" -take the C-Dale. I'm looking for a "sanity check." Thanks and happy cycling!

BTW, I tried to upload photos of both, but the upload failed numerous times. I'll continue to try so you can see each consideration.
