GT road bike
GT road bike
I found a nice GT road bike on craigslist, however, I'm not sure if it's worth the 300, can someone let me know if this is a good deal or not? For my purposes, it would be great, it has rack mounts and everything for my commute, but I'm not sure if its steel or aluminum.

Is it the blue "Classic GT Triangle Frame Road Bike" located in South Pasadena/Arroyo? I believe that is a steel/chro/moly frame.
Offer him $200.

If that's based on the Edge frame series (early to mid 90's) it's actually a very nice steel frame and weighs less than its aluminum counterpart. As with my peeve with most of these ads, though, the seller doesn't list size or components (or at least the specific model... it's a sticker on the bike for Pete's sake). It is old, though, and brifters from that era wear out.

Not really. If I recall, that was the lowest line that you could get with brifters (a new invention then). I would compare it to Sora today. That also leads me to believe it might be the heavier of their steel road frames at that time.
The listing is still there. Your link just didn't work because it got abbreviated in the link and not just the text.

I think I found the bike specs. It had an MSRP of $598 12 years ago.

What's your size and budget? I'll let you know if I find something better while I do my usual perusing of Los Angeles Craigslist.

Anyways, thanks a lot for the help.

I've found this Cannondale and offered 320 for it, asked her what components it has, is that a decent offer/deal? Or if anyone is familiar with this model?
