  1. Hi guys
    need some buying advice

    Looking to buy my first road bike,i'm mainly a long distance runner but recently started doing sprint duathlons which i'm loving. For example most the races are 3k run,14k bike,3k run or slightly longer.
    I'm looking for a decent road bike ideal for sprinting , without going down the TT bike route because I like to train on local hills and through the lanes where some of the road are very uneven.
    I've had my eye on a secondhand cannondale six13 saeco with a 2005 frame (carbon/allu)ultegra setup, its within my budget

    anyone tried out this bike? do you think it would be good for short races?
    I need a light stiff bike ideally with a frame to suit my size.

    I'm told by the local bike shop i need a size 54cm, i'm 5.8 with 31 inside leg
    my current bike i've borrowed is a size 49cm with narrow handle bars,campag veloce and weighs 23lbs which feels heavy to me,buti could wrong i know little about road bikes.

    thanks
