Hello good folks! This is my first post here, and I seek your infinite wisdom. :mrgreen:
Anyway, after racing mountain bikes for quite some years now, I've decided to try out something new, so I'm looking to buy my first second hand roadbike. I've been looking at two particular bikes.

This Lappiere http://www.dirtbike.ro/bazar/biciclete/cursiere/cursiera-lapierre-187597 and
This Scott Speedster http://www.dirtbike.ro/bazar/biciclete/cursiere/cursiera-scott-speedster-s30-m-size-193243

I hope you don't mind the links but It's a local SH bike site.
A little translated rundown on the two bikes

The Lappiere
Aproximate price $620
Frame size 55
ergopowere 2x9 Campagnolo Veloce
Campagnolo Veloce brakes
Front derailleur Campagnolo Veloce
Rear derailleur Campagnolo Chorus
front wheel 16 spoke shimano
rear wheel 20 spoke shimano
Ritchie saddle pipe
Columbus carbon fork

The Scott Speedster
About 680$
SCOTT SPEEDSTER S30 size M frame
SCOTT CARBON fork
TRUVATIV 34/50 compact drivetrain
Truvativ pedal assembly

SHIMANO 105 R derailleur
SHIMANO TIAGRA F derailleur
SHIMANO TIAGRA brake levers
SHIMANO TIAGRA shifter levers
SHIMANO TIAGRA sprockets
SHIMANO TIAGRA chain
CONTINENTAL ULTRA SPORT tyres
ALEX RIMS wheels with shimano hubs

Arey they worth the price? Should I be looking somewhere else?

Regarding the sizes.. I'm 1.86m, 70kg, 18 years old with long legs and arms, or reach and am particulary fit.

Also, I would very much appreciate if you could carefully inspect the pictures for hidden damage or wear, I'm really a noob in road bikes, so I couldn't tell.
click the links for pictures.

Thank you!

    I think you'll need a bigger frame than medium/55.

    I'm 183cm and I ride a 56cm specialized Allez Sport.

    My Dad is 188 and rides a 58cm Fuji Sportive 1.5.
