Hi,
I'm considering an Electra Townie 3S from craigslist for $100. It appears to be functional & rideable but it will need stuff like a new seat & grips which are flaking like crazy, and possibly new tires if the old ones won't hold air. My main question is about the brakes. It appears this bike has a front rim brake and a rear coaster brake. How does this work & is this a safe combo? I'm assuming I won't be able to test ride it. I'd be riding it in traffic sometimes so stopping is important lol.. I guess my other question is does this sound like a reasonable deal for $100.

Thanks
