Don't know where you're school is, but around here (RTP, North Carolina) there's a bike rebuilder who sells his bikes on CL. Students from NC State, UNC Chapel Hill, Duke and NC Central buy bikes from him. His prices are inflated, but he does a nice job on the rebuilds. I'd look on CL around you for someone who re-builds old bikes. The best buys are old MTBs, usually under $200.
