Looking to buy my 1st road bike...

Found this on Craigslist...all accessories go with the bike. $250. Seller says its a "Raleigh Supercourse", but I can't find any Raleigh Supercourse on the internet of that vintage....just newer or older ones.

Here's the description...

*****************************************************************************
Raleigh U.S.A. racer, 21-speed, aluminum composite frame, 700x25 tires, Exage ratcheting derailer, Technium thermal bonded super course blue, chronometer, and aerobars, $250. Have ridden this in the Endless Mtn and W-B triathlons. Love the sport and wish to upgrade.
******************************************************************************

I'm going to look at it tomorrow morning (1/9/08) to see if it fits. In competition with the Raleigh for my $$$ is a '96 or so Trek 1220 w/ RSX components, looks all stock from a LBS for $200. The difference is the Trek is stripped...not even pedals on it, whereas the Raleigh is already accessorized. Money is real tight for me, so buying new from a LBS isn't really an option.

Think the bike is worth it, or should I go with the Trek @ the LBS?

Your thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated!
