Hi-

I am looking at 3 different types of bikes for casual rides with the occasional longer ride on weekends. I live in NYC and bike mostly in central park and around the city.

I am considering:

1. Vintage Road bikes (plenty of soul plenty of supply here in the city)
2. Drop Bar Road Bikes
3. Flat Bar Road Bikes

I am pretty torn. I found a used Motobecane Cafe Century (Flat Bar) for $450 that I may pickup but Im concerned about re-sale and if thats the right choice. I've looked at a bunch of restored Vintage Roads for around $300 and have test driven them. Downtube friction shifters are pretty fun!

Any suggestions? Im NOT a hardcore biker... Just want something versatile, fun, quick.
