Does it fit, and do you have the knowledge and experience to know that it fits? If not, you need to take someone with you to look at the bike, and determine whether it will fit you, and what the condition of the bike really is.

I see a bike that has been slightly neglected, and probably in need a servicing. Unless there is something major wrong with it that requires replacement of major parts, it is most certainly worth more than $200 (unless you are a Flipper looking for dirt cheap bikes). The frame and the wheels will determine how much the bike is worth.

Shimano 600 Tricolor has a solid reputation, and you could get a set of matching brifters if you wanted. You can also get dual pivot brakes as both single pivot and dual pivot 600 brakes were available.
