I can't afford new, so I need to get a used bike. I'm going to meet any seller at a LBS to make sure everything is in working order and it's safe.
I've got it down to two. Would appreciate any thoughts on them:
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/bik/3134416195.html - called him and he really cleaned up the bike and says it works well- he restores old bikes
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/bik/3132866145.html - i like this one the best but I haven't heard back about it. I like the top bar (not slanted)
thoughts?

My commuter (mixte) has downtube shifters. They are not tricky at all once you get the hang of them.
