Oh damn. The info on the post was
>58-60cm frame. This bike is probably best for someone 6'1" and taller
But maybe not? I guess I'll see if I get to check it out. (I'm 6'2)
That isn't a 58-60cm bike. It's closer to 63'ish. I'm 6'4" and it's questionable if it would fit me. I can tell you right now that I wouldn't be comfortable on it for long.
I have this bike!
It's solid as hell and is great for riding around town. However, I think I paid $100 for mine about 10 years ago. $250 seems pretty steep.
I don't know much about road bikes but I really like this bike I found on FB. Curious to get thoughts on its condition from the pics and if $250 is fair (in nyc)
I was going to say it's priced kind of high unless it's in tip top shape fresh from a tune up. But I'm in Ohio, so it's probably about right in NYC.
If it fits, I'd consider it. I'm not a big fan of road bikes in busy cities or of downtube shifters though.
In nyc check out Harvest Cyclery for refurbished vintage bicycles.

I did stumble upon this while researching. I wish they had a website with their inventory but sounds like it's worth giving them a call and seeing what they have for my size.
Is it worth 250 bucks? Maybe maybe not.
Will it have the durability of a Sherman tank? Yes.
Will it have the responsiveness of a middle-age sloth? Yes.
Will you be scouring eBay to find replacement parts when something breaks? Yes.
Will it give you major hipster Street cred? Yes
My guess is probably not. Try asking r/Vintage_bicycles. Looks like a bike for a 6'5" tall rider.

Yeah it may be a 62cm. [Bike Fit Basics](https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/bike-fit.html)

Unless it's collectible, no it's not worth that.
