$500 for a an old bike with outdated components. For something simple in the same price range you can get a NEW Bianchi San Jose single speed that fits rack is comfy and very efficient . I
Bad advice, unless the bicycle is to be used for level commuting.
Not to say there aren't $500 bikes that would be fine for the original poster, avoid the Bianchi San Jose. Most bicycles can fit a rack, so I don't know how the fact that the San Jose can fit a rack is some sort of huge selling point.
San Jose gearing is fine for manhattan. Next time I do Bike New York it will be on San Jose. Theft is the biggest issue in NYC.
