Cannondale R300
Hi, everyone. I am completely new to cycling and it seems like everyone is almost speaking a new language. I recently developed tendonitis in my foot from overuse (marathon training), and need to mix up my exercise. Cue the bike and possible triathalon training.
I went in to my local bike shop to get some info about used/new bikes, etc. They had a used Cannondale R300 in great condition, frame size 52cm (I'm 5'7) for $300.
Because I'm new and I'm just testing things out, I don't want to commit to anything more than this. Is this a good deal?
Thanks for any help!

Since it is coming from a bike shop, the mechanical aspect should be fine, so look at the cosmetics and fit. If both passes, then go for it.

My wife's first serious road bike was an R300. She rode the crap out of that bike for 10 years. Sold it on eBay for slightly over $200 iirc, but she was a motivated seller, so I would think $300 is still perfectly reasonable.
