Thumbs up help =)

so basicly i am new to biking and am looking to start going on long distance rides, camping on the side of the road and what not. I need to know what size of bike to get seeing as im 6'1" and 130-140 pounds (yes i know im a sitck), im having a hard time figuring out what to buy. I also have a limited budget, so im looking more twords something used (are peugeot's any good?).
any ideas?

Welcome to the board!

Well, to tell you the truth, anyone on the board would be steering you in the wrong direction if they guesstimated what size bike you should get. You should go to a bike shop and be fitted for a bike - even if you don't buy one that they sell. Once you have done that you should know what size bike fits you. I mean, there are so many variables (torsoe size, leg length, etc.) out there that any advice would be off the mark.

Good luck!

Rob
