Hey guys!
First off, I apologize if this isn't the right place for a question of this sort.
I bought a road bike a while back and I've been enjoying it quite a bit. I initially was going to buy a mountain bike but thought better of it since I'm at college right now and I'm in the city. Here I am a year later and I found out there are some trails around my campus.
I tend to have a bad habit of browsing craigslist as is anyway, so I started checking the bikes section just to see what was on there. I came across a 2011 Specialized Hardrock (not the sport or disc, it's just the base model from what I understand). It's a 17 inch frame and I'm right at or just over the 5' 6" mark. The guy wants $200 for it, which I didn't think was a bad deal. It looks like it's hardly been ridden in the pictures.
Essentially, I came here to ask what everyone's opinions were on this particular bike for someone of my size. I thought it would make a good bike at a decent price point for someone just getting into all of this.
Thanks for any input you guys can provide!
