https://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/624056051.html
I'm looking for a racing bike, but I'm new to the world of bicylces. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

Suggestions for anyone in this situation:
Do you mean your are looking for a racing style bike or do you want to get involved organized bike racing events?
Once you decide what you're shopping for there's several things to consider:
1. What's your budget? When you buy a used bike you should factor in a least $100 - $150 for necessary repairs and servicing.
2. Frame size. Finding a frame that fits you properly is the most important thing to look for. A bike that's too big or too small will rarely be comfortable to rise.
3. The frame and wheels are the most important parts of a sporting bike. The rest of the components are not that crucial and can be replaced or upgraded.
Good Luck

Just to jump in on this necro thread I will add that I sold a basically mint old Peugeot Record Du Monde 63cm (carbolite gas pipe tubing) bike with a mix of components for $275 in the NYC area a few months ago. The frame was garbage picked by my dad like 20 years ago in Brooklyn and proceeded to lay in a box for all that time, so it was basically NOS.
Building it up:
On its way home to a new owner:
I guess even old Peugeots appreciate in value after so much time lol.

Carbolite (103) is hardly "gaspipe". Are there other Carbolite tubings? I had a Carbolite 103 Peugeot for awhile and it was a pretty decent bike.

I stand corrected. I thought carbolite was significantly worse than Reynolds of Columbus of the era but then again I don't know much about that stuff. thanks for enlightening me
