Perhaps look at something else like a hybrid bicycle.

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?
Looks like an absolute piece of crap, to be honest. This will make you hate riding (my personal opinion only.)

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?
You are better off with a 52cm road bike. 54cm is pushing it.

You should ask azncreationz if he has any bikes that would fit you. I recall him having a Scott hybrid that could work both in size and budget.
