I'm a beginner cyclist who is looking to purchase a used road bike. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to bikes and I have a feeling I'll be ripped off trying to buy a used bike from craiglist or facebook marketplace. I've been browsing through the forum and I feel like a lot of members here are very passionate about biking and have a strong sense of community so I thought I would try to find a bike here! I found that the correct frame size for me is 58 cm (I'm 6'1") and my crank size is 170mm - 175mm. I'm currently located in Northern Virginia by Fairfax.
