College student seeks used entry level road bike to commute and train for first tri. Able to pay a maximum of $500 for a fully functioning, preferably well-maintained specimen. Willing to pay less for a bike that requires tuning and repairs but could potentially be transformed for a grand total of less than $500. Bike must accommodate her 6' frame, complete with long legs and short torso. Craigslist is letting me down, I know ya'll won't!

I'm selling a 2005 58cm Cannondale R700 triple. I'm 5'11 and I used it for about 2.5 seasons of tris.
