  1. to kick off i know basically nothing about road biking, i used to ride DH, dual mountian biking a few years back but as far as road bikes go i am a totoal beginner.

    just a few questions

    1) what bike would be suitable for me, i.e make,model etc. i am looking for soemthing as light as possible but ill probably be buying 2nd hand so i wont be able to be too picky?
    2) what size frame should i be looking at, im 5'11'', with pretty average proportions (dont have abnormally long legs or anything like that)?
    3)is there anywhere worthwhile checking out that sells 2nd hand bikes other than ebay and the local rag?

    ill be mostly just riding for fun and sometimes to bike to places like work, gym etc.

    any other advice would be appretiated.

    cheers, Ian
