Noob on the cheap
 

New to the forums and nice to find Hybrids are the bike for me. Budget means I gotta go used and have the feelers out on 3 right now, all around $120-ish Just curious if any jump out to you as a sweeter deal than the rest. No expert but fine with doing my own maintenance/upgrade/fix-up work

Fuji absolute 3.0 - looks like the 2009 from what I can look up online, looks in clean good shape and not used much

Diamondback Trace - 2015 - used regularly by owner on paved and easy off-road trails

Diamondback Insight - don't know the year or usage

All are on different sides of the city. Which would you go check out first?

Depends on which one fits you the best. An ill fitting bike at half the price is no bargain. If all are equal fit, the one with least wear. I haven't looked at the specific models, but at this price point, there can't be too much difference. Which color do you like the best? I wouldn't buy it if I didn't like the color.

Good point on the fit, the Fuji, although in great shape, is probably too big for me

Picked up a mint 2004 Jamis Coda Comp today! Perfect fit for me but I do sense a fun plasti-dip project in my future since I'm not in love with the polished paint job on it, just gotta decide on color.
