Been checking the local forums and found one for 150$. Would this be a good deal? He said that it's been parked since last winter so I assume it will need new tubes (atleast he said that), and a tuneup and other various things. Are these bikes any good and will it be alright for a commute and fitness training?
I searched a little bit but didn't really find any information on it here from members.
Any suggestions, advice, info, etc. is welcome and appreciated. Thanks

Edit: It also has Shimano RSX shifters and derailleurs.

Is ttt'ing allowed? because this forum moves fast.

I didn't know they even made an R200.

I'd say that if the bike fits you and is in pretty good shape, it might be a deal. Are the RSX shifters on the downtube or integrated with the brakes?

There are no really "crap" Cannondales... they're all aluminum, USA-made, and the frame will be decently light.

I picked up an old "2.8" Cannondale with RSX for my wife... it was a steal at $250...

Yea, I believe they stopped making it a few years back. I checked their site and it had an R500 as the lowest model. So it's probably 3 years old atleast.
I haven't seen the bike or gotten any pics yet so I can't say about the shifters.

That's good about any Cannondale being reasonably nice. I don't want to be picking up a bad bike. Thanks
