You think this is a good price at $350?
Curious because it's very similar to my bike, but still has gears.

Yes and no. The Hubs are nice, (if working well). No question about that. The frame is nice too.
The thing is that these bikes once sold for $60-$100. . Then they went up to this price and could catch $475 during this past summer.
Now the demands has gone way down and if you look close enough you can get these for $80-$200.
It is nice, but I would never pay that much for that bike. Maybe $150. that if I really liked it. If you really love it, then maybe it would be worth $350. I don't think the seller will get that for it. Unless you need a bike right away, I would keep looking. Of course that looks in great conditioner. The trick with craigslist is to constantly check it for that special deal. They come around, but you have to be the first on it. The "Deals" are over and sold within two hours.
Good Luck
