I am looking to buy a cheap bike for commuting and 20Km rides twice a week, nothing too serious. I do not know much about bikes other than how to ride one.
I came across four bikes and would like your help in knowing if they are worth buying and if the price is fair or too high for the quality and age.
I'll start with the Peugeot this first one has no details on it other than these two images. and the asking price is $200 Canadian. would this be fair or too much how much do you think this Peugeot should cost? And is it a good purchase all together or not?
The second Peugeot is this ten speed Record Du Monde Shimano and the asking price is $220 Canadian. Is this too much for this bike? and how good is it to ride and maintain? is it reliable?
Then the third bike which is a 10 speed Raleigh with an asking price of $320. I don't know if this is too much for a Raleigh especially a vintage one or not. and how much would be a good price if I should buy it at all.
Finally 80's era Norco Avanti S. L. 12 speed with an asking price of $220 Canadian. Is this a fair price for it or should I negotiate a better deal or avoid it all together.
If you could help me know which one would be the best bargain for its price. And which ones should I avoid buying either because it's not a good model or if it's hard to maintain with recurring problems. And how much should I pay for any of them without paying too much.
Thank you so much looking forward for your help.
