Which bike should i get?
I am looking at four bikes for sale on craigslist. They are all $250. I am not looking to spend any more than that cause this is my first road bike.

I know a lot of you are going to say that I should save up and buy a better bike but i'm looking to just get into cycling

#2 & #3 are the same listing
How tall are you ? The red KHS looks like it's more for someone around 5' 5"
The orange Trek is oldest with down tube shifters. Integrated shifters are more convenient.

They rebuild bikes and give them away for free to needy people. However, they also sell bikes at a very, very low cost to finance their operations. Stop by and you'll probably have at least a dozen bikes that might meet your needs, and that are certainly less expensive than the Craigslist bikes you're looking at.

The Trek might be the best deal but without knowing the condition or model of components on the bike I would pass. Your best bet is to find some cycling buddies and have them help you find a bike.
