Are you close to the size that the current owner mentions********** If so, it would be worth a closer look. Fit is everything.
It's a good price for a first bike. Getting rid of the knobbies and a front and rear light should be figured in initial expense, along wit a way to carry stuff. You can use a rack, a basket or a bookbag--just have something.
The primary function of a first bike is to teach you what you need in a bike!!!
