I am new to bikes. I need to commute 30 mins twice so 1 hour each day for work. I am five feet tall. I will need to add something to hold my bag.
this is the listing description:
Purple Jamis Aurora road bike with drop handlebars. Front wheel (650x25c), rear wheel (700x25c). 20-inch frame. 24-speed (3×8) Shimano derailleurs. Reflectors on both front and rear. The bike is fully functional, in excellent condition, and ready to ride.

How is the 20″ frame measured? Because at 5’0″ tall, you need a XS frame.
If you can try it, do it. If not, I’d say pass.
I had an Aurora Elite. It’s not really a road bike, it’s a touring bike, comparable to a Surly Long Haul Trucker. Kind of heavy, kind of slow. Still, if it meets your needs and the drivetrain isn’t worn out, it’s a solid bike for $160.
The Aurora went to disc brakes in 2016, so this is at least a ten year old bicycle.
Reasonable price IMO and would make a good commuter. If it fits, go for it.
The mismatched wheels would give me the fantods though.
too big. you need 44cm/16 inches and under probably
