In the Calgary bike sale that was suggested, I'd be looking at that Kona Caldera. The were a great bike with solid components. You never know about the condition, but it could be a real gem.

Example of a kijiji bike that could be awsome. Norco Charger.... $350.

A lot of stolen bikes on kijiji. Beware.
