Hey everybody. I've been watching craigslist for an inexpensive bike that I can comfortably ride longer distance and possibly use for a triathlon. I ran across this Cycles Gitane Victoire and would like an opinion on it. Unfortunately, I can't afford much more than this. However, I don't want to waste my money on junk either. I am 5'11", 160 lbs. Would this be a good fit for me? I'm sorry for all of the simple questions. I used to be into BMX(4 or so years ago) but lost interest in it. So, I would like to sell my BMX bike and try out a road bike to see how I like it. This plan hinges on my selling the BMX bike(I have some interest, hopefully it sells soon), so I'll have to wait the sale out. Is this bike even worth looking at? Could I still buy parts for it?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I wasn't sure where it should go.
