Thinking of getting an old bike to turn into a commuter.
This was a new bike when I was a teen but I guess I'm old now. It has the cheapo tiagra set, but it's overall in good condition, kept clean and all. $400, seems kinda expensive but I've been finding them around that price for a well maintained example.
Also considering a pre 90s schwinn, raleigh, fuji, etc. and just upgrading some bits here and there. End result of price will probably be the same anyway.
