Help Buying a Road bike?

[JeffreyKim]

hi, im a college kid, freshman year and im in need of a road bike. im sick of my 7th grade mountain bike from toys r us. its rusted and heavy and tires are fat as hell.

I just want a bike thats thin, with wheels as thin as my finger. I don't need anything fancy. if it has brakes and it works. I want it. I don't need some 26 speed crap.

But i found this on craigs list

the owner is a littler over 6 and with the seat all the way down he couldn't straighten out his legs. And im 5ft 10 so i might be able to fit this bike nicely.

And i need to replace the brake pads in the front
how much would that cost me?

do u think this is a good deal or a shady rip off? Like idk much about bikes but all the bike shops i check out online are like 1,000 dollars. If u pay 1,000 dollars for a fucking bike ur crazy unless ur trynna get into the tour de france.
No the guy that is 6 ft said HIS KNEES BEND if he sits on the seat lowered all the way down and he tries to straighten his legs out.

Which means if he puts the seat up a few inches his legs will be straight.

if i can keep the seat at the bottom position it might be perfect or maybe just a little shorter, which i could easily fix by raising the seat.

and i'm 5 ft 10 and hes a littler over 6. so only a 2 inch difference or so.

so he can fit the bike
what do u guys think about this bike for 90 bucks?

another poster said anything made before 1981 would be horrible from this company
one person said the bike fram was too small for a 5'10 person ( my height )
and i have to straighten out the rear wheel.

So could u guys give me feedback on this bike too?
