Looking at getting a starter bike and came across this one for $150. Did a little bit of digging online and it seems like a good price. Looks good overall. Thought?

It’s an old bike, but it might teach you some bike mechanical skills! (You will probably have to replace some cables, chain, and tires)
Ive always loved the whacky colored bikes. This ones awesome!
It really depends. It is a vintage steel bike. If you live in a rather flat area, it could be ok, otherwise get something with a more modern drivetrain, this will absolutely kill the mood for beginners on climbs. It’s more forgiving than an aluminum or carbon bike, so ride is somewhat smoother. Another thing to consider is the shifters, if you can get used to them its fine, otherwise consider something more modern.
