I just started cycling to work and it has come to my attention that I should be looking at upgrading from my monstrosity of a mountain bike. Hoping somebody has something used that they might be looking at selling.

I'm 5' 10" and 220 pounds, in case that matters for bike sizing. I was hoping to keep it under $300, but if there's a great deal for a little more, I might be able to swing it. Current commute is about 20 km each way, but that's from a friend's house. Eventually I'd like to start riding from home, which would bring it over 30 km.

I'm also open to constructive criticism in this thread about my bike expectations.

So far I've been considering this bike:

I am also aware of the bike swap this weekend, however that conflicts with Beerfest.
