State FGFS?

My Eastside got stolen a little bit ago so I'm kind of on the lookout for a new bike. I'm going to be traveling for a bit over the summer, so thought I'd wait until I got back before looking seriously but I saw a State FGFS bike on Craigslist for $250 that caught my eye and was hoping to get thoughts on it? Before I got my Eastside I commuted for years on a BMX cruiser, and liked the way it rode, so the BMX feel on a bigger bike has some appeal. $250 is also an amount I'm comfortable spending without worrying so much if it gets stolen down the road. So would this be an OK candidate for a beater bike for around town (most rides are less than 5 miles, with the occasional 20 mile round trip ride to the beach. I'd probably want to put a freewheel on it and change the gearing up a bit to make the longer rides a bit easier.
