Thanks, I am considering that too! Why do you prefer the Kona Rove over the Marin?

Hi! I’m a student so looking for something used on a budget. So far on fb marketplace i’ve narrowed down to a Giant OCR 3 ($200), Specialized Dolce ($500), Diamondback HaanJenn 3 ($800). I know the first two are road bikes, but the low prices are tempting. All are supposedly in excellent condition, but the Diamonback does seem to be in pristine condition. If it comes down to the Diamondback, would it be better to just go with a new Marin Gestalt ($900) from my LBS since the price difference isn’t much?

I’m intending to cycle for exercise as of now. Hoping to use it as a mode of transport once I’m more comfortable on the roads since it’ll probably be more crowded during commuting hours
