hey guys i am fairly new to cycling, i had an old ricardo in school and that did me for a triathalon but since working i have not done it for 6 yrs
a couple of q's playin on my mind what is a good size for me i am about 5"11
also i have found some bikes that i like 2nd under a $1000, and just wondering which is the better bike. i know that i should see general condition but i just want to know about these general models

cannondale r700-$600
wheeler 6100-$650
giant ocr1-$800

any help would be good i have read reviews and they all seem fairly decent. but i just wanted some people who may have ridden these bikes?
i will be mainly riding to work just to get back into the swing of things then i will probably do a few longer rides.
thanks guys

well that's a bit rough not getting a reply... i think us down unders are a bit slack on the old forum front. hopefully they're all out riding their pushies instead, but they're more likely watching tv.
personally, hurrah for cannondale! you wont buy a lighter bike, even for the money you put into the pretty paintwork.

if it doesn't have wheels, it's broken

check out the wrench science webiste for the correct bike size you need.

a few measurements to take, but its worth it. You will need assistance with the measurements.

Use this as a starting point and try and ride as many bikes as you can around the figures given to you.

Hope all works out.
