In the end I don't know if they're really worth the commanding price, which is why I've posted here because I know that as a collective in this forum we have some mighty brains in the Bike community. Pictures are posted below with details in each caption. Larger pics are linked underneath.

First we have a green concorde road bike commanding $150 but I believe I can get it down to $100.

Next is a Raleigh Grand Prix in pretty good condition, it's asking $60 but I can probably back him down to $40.

Lastly is a Brentwood Hustler, this is the one that I know the least about and want to know if it's worth the $35 asking price.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Which one is a good fit for you? Don't buy anyof them if it doesnt' fit. Almost anyone here can pedal any of those three bikes, but with three bikes running the gamut of frame size, I can't imagine that all of them are good fits for your body dimensions. Bike fitting just doesn't work that way.
If the Concorde fits you, it's the best buy.
