Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

buying a used bike, is this a good deal?

Hey everyone, thank you in advance for the help.

I am on the verge of purchasing a used bike. the model is Trek 750 the asking price is $200- the owner says the bike has been through some maintenance. I am waiting on some more close-up pics to see which exact 750 sub-model it is.

also, i don't if it can be noticed from the picture, but i am 5`3 and petite do you reckon it will work? she says she's 5`1 and it works for her, but it sounds like she knows even less about this things than i do.

my aim from the bike is really just riding around town and maybe on the road to more remote places like the beach and such. will this bike be good for that?

this is the ad:

and this

not sure if this is a good one, Fuji mx-200

or this one a Schwinn, though i think it may be asking too much

thank you for any info you can provide!
