I would be riding on road/gravel pretty frequently and I value speed.
Most of my rides are close to 100km (60 miles).
There are a few forest trails that I would want to try but nothing too crazy!
I would ideally want to ride the bike as is.
I am 5’5 female.
Thank you so much in advance!

The Cannondale is much newer than any of the others and a bit nicer. The picture is ridiculously blurry, so I can’t tell you anything about the condition that would be helpful.
Most of the bikes you posted are from the very early 2000s, but the Cannondale is somewhere around ~2018. It uses a more modern wheel size (27.5), and a more modern drivetrain (1x).
Some of the those old Konas are kinda cool, but nothing really special, and they will all need at least some work to get running.
Got any better pictures of the Cannondale? I’d love to tell you more about its condition to help you get a good deal.
Too expensive for what they are, but what matters is the condition, not possible to say from pics, you have to check the bikes live.
All the bikes are outdated, in bad condition and overpriced. If you had a better picture of the cannondale, it might be ok, if you get it for 100-150$(depending on the components and the condition)
All those bike are heavy and won’t make much fun.
If budget is a factor and you are willing to repair stuff(which would be necessary on most of these) you could look for cheap but better bikes with simple defects(a flat tire, broken saddle, scratches).
