Looking to get my first road bike and don't want to spend too much, came across this Schwinn Men's 700c 14-Speed Phocus 1400 Road Bike for 220, supposedly only needs a new back tube.

Meh. There are some really good deals on the used market right now, for example I recently saw a 2007-ish Cannondale caad9, a fairly high end bike with 2×10 Ultegra groupset, sell for $200.
This Schwinn is newer, but a very budget bike, and to me, it offers nothing that a premium bike from the 90’s can’t beat. For example. This [$100 2000 Cannondale](https://www.facebook.com/share/1GVyUT43dP/), imo is better in every single way- nice, name brand wheels, 3×8 gears, all reputable Shimano parts, looks better overall, and its probably at least a few pounds lighter, too.
