HELP! First road bike - value?
Hi Everyone,
I'm wanting to purchase my first road bike but the options are endless. I'm wanting to purchase something inexpensive as I don't think I'll be taking it around too much, just to parks and around the street occasionally.
I've looked at a few on kijiji (I'm located in GTA) and just wanted some assistance as I couldn't really find much information on the threads.
Is this worth $300? That's what they're willing to sell for:
https://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-s...AdIdZ494519603
Any information is appreciated!

$300 is still a bit high for an older, midlevel bike
Where is GTA ?

Greater Toronto Area?
And yes, that's too much by about twice at least.

Based on the original $390 price, the seller may be someone that thinks a bike is "vintage" just because it's old ....... 99% of the old bikes I see for sale on Craigs list are just old bikes..... usually listed at twice what they're worth.
