Hello again,
I personally agree with the other ladies about buying new. I'm a relative newbie myself, and the concept that I'd have to pay over $600 for an ENTRY LEVEL road bike nearly killed me, but I have a lovely LBS(local bike shop) that allowed for layaway. For some reason it didn't seem so bad when I could make payments
After all is said & done, I've had Oscar(yes he has a name!) for about a month now & I really don't think I could have bought a used bike, since I was such a newbie. I had no clue about fit & all the jazz that you will see people posting about. Oscar is a beginner friendly Giant OCR 3, which I was able to get for $550 since he was last years model.
I definitely recommend looking around at bike shops and seeing what is comfortable to you, THEN worry about the price, lol.
