>>1667493I asked an acquaintance who's into cycling, he told me I should not bother with used bikes if possible (probably because he knows that I don't know what I'm doing).
Besides that, most bikes in my area seem to be too small for my tall ass.
I found a Bianchi Rekord 910 in a size that might fit me for about 300 euros, but the seller is bit far away, and I don't even know what speed the cassette is etc. (I heard you should prefer 9 speed for parts availability); I also don't know if any local bike shop could help me with old shimano 600 components etc. when I inevitably will run into trouble.
I also don't really know how to spot if the bike had accidents/minor structural damage. It's all just "no rust, just works, trust me bruh, and btw I replaced the fork", and I'm not qualified enough to assess if the bikes are actually safe, and don't want to bother other people to do that work for me just because I'm stingy, lol.
I mean those bikes are from the 80ies and older than me, and even I start breaking down.
To summarise: I'm lazy and dumb, woe is me.
