Hi! Hoping I can get some opinions here.
Really looking to purchase this Miyata 512, 50cm. The seller hasn’t been super responsive, so I have some other options pictured as well (hoping to bring them down by at least $50, especially the cannondale that’s a 90s frame)
The Fuji I’m considering def needs new chains and some work.. but wondering if it’s also a good option

If the Miyata doesn’t work out, thoughts on the others or for all that I’m considering?
I’m 5’0 and new to cycling, but want something to replace my single speed restrospec for weekend rides and group cycling in LA area.

Avoid Miyata, the vintage thumb shifters are outdated and very slow to use, also, 50cm is too large for you. (vintage 50cm usually fits 5’5″-5’10”)
Schwinn would be a better buy, it’s got an upgraded carbon fork and groupset. Can try negotiate down to $200 based on age… Cannondale is overpriced (ask for $250 then it’s a great value). Fuji is not worth it (bottom tier super basic bike not worth upgrading or fixing)
