Hey there...I'm looking to upgrade my current bike (a 7 year old diamondback mountain bike) to something easier to ride and better quality. On average I ride a few times a month around town, but would like to get a bike to be able to do longer and more versatile rides.

I found this Bridgestone bike on craigslist (https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bik/d/berkeley-bridgestone-cm-space-violet/7150904957.html) that looks like a solid option, but seeing as I don't know much about specs, I'd like advice on how this particular bike will ride and whether it is worth the value. For reference, I am a 5'8" female.

Other general suggestions for good bikes to look out for would also be welcome, thanks in advance!
