Randor bike for $60 - worth it?
 

i'm still looking for my first road bike. found this listing for a Randor bike. anybody know anything about this brand? worth the price or should i keep looking?

Vintage 10 Speed Road Bike "RANDOR" ~ RED

Size is an important consideration... How tall are you (not that height is the only consideration)? That bike is way too small for me, and I am 6', so the seller's size range is off.

I don't know the prices in that area, but although it could well be very functional and serve your purposes (depending on what those purposes are) it is nothing special.

It looks like a low end department store bike to me. Some of the signs of a cheap bike from that era (not necessarily always the case):

1) Turkey Wings (the "safety" brake levers)
2) Stem shifters.
3) Claw style rear derailleur.
4) Looks like steel rims.
5) 26" tires on a road bike.

Some of these are possibly present on a few decent bikes, but with all 5, I think it is definitely department store quality.

keep looking

thanks for the feedback guys

Looks like it's in good shape, anyway. You'd be disappointed.

That bike probably sold for $99 when it was brand new. You can bet it's hi-tensile steel, that probably weighs 30-35lbs. Wouldn't be much fun to ride- but if you just need something transportation, to go just a few miles, and leave outside, etc. then it'd work. (At least you won't have to "paahk the caah" if you ride that "wicked pissuh" :D)
