Hello Mustachians -
First time poster, sometime lurker here in the Mustache community. I need your bike purchasing expertise.
I live 2.5 miles from my office, and I'm looking to get a commuter bike so I can join the revolution and all that. Pretty excited about it, to be honest.
I just this bike on the local classified site, and frankly I have no idea what questions to ask, let alone whether it's a good buy.
It's a Trek 800, guy is asking $110.
If it's relevant, I'm just under 6' tall, weigh about 195, with about a 32" inseam. Shorter-legged, longer-torsoed kind of dude.

Thanks so much for any advice.
