http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/bik/2865119695.html This is the bike in question. I dont know to much about road bikes and would like some opinions on wether the price is reasonable for this bike.

Answer:
Older road bike. Heavy compared to newer bikes. Looks clean though. Main thing is the frame size. Is it the right frame size for you? You should have about an inch of clearance standing over the bike with both feet flat on the ground. Anything from craigslist will always be over-rated by the owner. Take it out for a long spin before the sale. Then if you like it, haggle, haggle & haggle some more over the price.

If that's all the money you can scrape up - it'll be a start at least. Craigslist is always a crap-shoot. Inspect everything carefully & take it for an extensive test ride. The proper frame size is everything. If it doesn't feel right - walk away. If it were me...I'd add a few bucks & get one from either Bikes Direct or Giant Nerd.com. See links below.

The price is too high for a bike that old. They never stated the size, fit is everything.
