Hi I wanted an opinion on this bicycle for sale on craigslist. Is Koko a good brand?

I've been cycling for about 3 years to get around but on a mountain bike. I'm still gonna use it for school and such but I wanted a road bike for the longer journeys. Because they run for much more than mountain bikes, is this a decent deal? http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/bik/1083791143.html I know a steel frame is heavy but I'm not looking to race; I'm just looking for the something that would be better for going higher speeds and longer distance than a mountain bike. Also, I am only 5'3" so I am not sure if the measurements would suit me, please inform me! I currently own a Scwinn Ranger that I bought at Target about a year ago. Thank you for your time.
 
That bike is a tank. It probably weighs as much as your mountain bike! It won't go higher speeds or longer distance that what you have.
Not much of a road bike and the dependability of a 35 yr old bike is suspect. Unlike wine bikes don't improve with age, and the only thing worse than a new department store bike is an old department store bike.

You won't like riding it.

I recommend a firm NO on the purchase.

If you want a solid bike, never by from wal mart or target. Koko is a no name brand that will be very cheap. If I were you, I would get a used bike of a brand that you have heard of. These cheap bikes will break very easily and they don't really have any value. Some good brands are trek, cannondale, raleigh, kona, giant, surly, gt, schwinn, specialized. Steel frames are very comfortable though.
