Maybe I need to clarify what I need lol. I'm after a second hand bike that will last me this year. Then I'm hoping I can upgrade. Its so hard to know what to look for being a novice at these things
I can't really afford new at the moment. So entry level is good option. I'm 5'3 with 28.5 inside leg . I'm riding a MTB at the moment lol

thats too big
