Raleigh Retroglide

Found this bike on my local CL. I'm looking for a supplement to my road bike for commuting. I was really looking for a hybrid, but this kind of caught my eye. He is asking a "firm" $100. Here's what he sent to me in an email:
The bike is a standard 26" mans bike. Standard seat, handlebars, etc. It is a simple bike not a racing bike. It is a few years old, but garage kept, riden very little, an in very very good condition.
It's got a coaster brake (he called it a foot brake) and a 7sp internal hub. Do you think it is worth going to look at? Thanks!

He's not selling it, he's getting rid of it. Grab it.
