i dont really know much about bikes, but spring is coming back here in chicago and i really want to get a road bike soon (preferably single-speed). ive been looking on craigslist for used bikes,because my budget is only like $300. Anyways these are some of the bikes i found. I was wondering if any of these are good deals. if so which ones? and if not what are some good prices to offer?

Answer
They all look nice. The most important thing is getting the right size. Stand with your back against the wall with a book up against your crotch. Measure fron the top of the book to the floor. Take that measurement X .65 and that is the size frame your should be looking for. You also want a 1-2 inch clearance when standing over the bike. Bikes are measured in cm so take your measurement in inchs X 2.54 to convert to cm.

dont really know much about bikes, but spring is coming back here in chicago and i really want to get a road bike soon (preferably single-speed). i found this bike while on craigslist. i think it looks alright but a friend told me it was overpriced. what is a reasonable price to offer for this bike? and is it even worth buying?

Answer
that;s not a bad price
though $50 would be a lot better :)
100 is about the top
but - only if it fits
neither you nor the seller seems to realize that fit is important
you would need to be 5-5 to about maybe 5-8 for it to work - rough guess
this isn;t single speed but i think that;s a bad idea for your only bike to be single speed, particularly if you aren;t really that conversant with the implications of single speed
