So I'm honestly brand new to cycling, and I've been looking for a beginner road bike to buy. Ive been looking at local classified ad's online to buy a bike that won't hurt my wallet too much, and I came across 2 different bikes that seem to be around my size ( im 6'1, so i figured a 58 cm size was about right, let me know if im wrong haha). Anyway, here are the two ads that ive found, and I was hoping I could get some advice... Thank you so much for anyone who helps me out. I greatly appreciate it!

most here are uk based so hard to know how that pricing is for the local market in usa where i assume you are
both are aluminium frames, i'd go for the cannondale every time...
6 years less wear and tear
steerer tube hasn't been cut
looks very clean, the ad says it hasn't been ridden that much, i'd agree
cannondale's sizimg chart is here...

...check both height and inside leg, i think you'll be ok with the 58cmmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
