Need help please! I've been looking for a road bike but I'm not sure what i should be looking for. I'm not planning on spending too much on my first road bike so my budget is under 300.
I've been trying to look at used bikes on craigslist but I'm not sure what details i should be looking for. I found this bike for sale
Gitane 12 Spd Road Bike + New Tires
Is this bike worth looking at? what should i look for and what should i try out when i go look at a used bike?
As for my frame size, I used a bike frame calculator and it says that i should look for a 54 cm frame. I'm 5'7 with a leg length of 31". How big or how small of a frame can i get?
