Hiya,

Could anyone simplify please!

Haven't had a bike since i was 8 lol.

Have decided to buy a cheap bike (not dirt cheap, but for the use i plan to get out of it, not mega expensive either - £200 MAX).

My main question is...

Size.... first of all i don't understand the classification - I'm 6 foot (female), i'm used to things not quite being made to my height so not expecting perfection, but what is a standard/ readily available size i should be looking for? (seen as i'm not looking to spend a fortune, i guess i should be looking at run of the mill sizes).

Also... (Again price is a factor) i intend to cycle on quite rough ground, though i imagine i wont be using the bike that often or for long durations. Is their anything in particular i should be looking for when buying a bike?

Thanks in advance for any help. x x
