Hi! I am looking to get my first bike second hand but not sure i have a good enough understanding of which one is right for me. I am based in San Diego and i mostly will be street riding but also want to be able to take the bike on some light trials for short bike packing trips ( like this one: https://bikepacking.com/routes/great-san-diego-triathlon/ ). i want to make sure im getting the right type of tires and set up and everything. Im looking at a couple bikes right now:
one is a "GT road bike converted. 15 speed, 20" inch (height), fit 5'3 to 5'5 person, with 26×1.50 tires" thats selling for 130$.
the second bike is a " 1985 Raleigh Alyeska touring. 555 Chrome moly tubing. 27" wheels. Size: 52 cm (small)" thats selling for 300$.
the last one has the least info, "Fuji Touring Bike . originial touring bike with replaced tires and tubes . medium sized for women for reference im 5'7 and fits"
for refrence im 5'5 ! thank you so much im not sure much about bikes and just wanna make sure i can do a little bit of everything on it. but for the off road stuff it really wont be anything crazy, just to the extent of that trip i linked. thank you so much !!!
