$60 is a more appropriate price: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/3576441158.html

Yes that looks extremely old/cheap. LOL I ran a Bell saddle like that for a bit on my KHS bike... until I saw the light.

Pass on the sidewinder.
Try this Specialized. Adjusta-stem and sproing post are kinda a bummer for actual MTB riding, but nice touches for beginner commuter. It's a $450 bike vs the $300 Sidewinder with no brakes.

I like the Hard Rock better personally.
Cheap suspension sux. Cheap rigid bikes are typically a nicer ride, IMO.

All wheel-heads have to love the skit of Spike yelling "I am on a bike!".
That show is kinda hit-and-miss, but mostly hit.

I am actually an Angeleno. I just moved here about 3 weeks ago. Well, what bike shop? I'll prob come in for a tune up on what ever bike i purchase. Most likely a Specialized one.
