Hi All,

Please could someone recommend a bike for me. I am looking to get into cycling as a way of keeping fit. Looking to road ride 2 - 3 times a week.

Like to get a comfortable bike. I am tall (6ft 2 and 100kg), so need to bear this in mind.

I live in Melbourne, Australia so if anyone could recommend a model and local bike shop, it would be great

Also should I buy new or secondhand ?

Thanks

Jeff
 
Second hand is great.

But, you need to find a friend who knows bikes. He can go with you to look at the actual machines and see if they are good value, good condition, and good for your size.

If it doesn't turn out to be exactly right for you, at least you can re-sell it with no great loss. But if it works well for you, keep it until you are ready for your "dream bike."
